Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the network?

Yes, if Captive Historian is exposed over the network and an attacker can obtain or already has an account with Process Optimization Standard User privileges, they can attempt to exploit the vulnerable query functionality remotely.

What level of access does an attacker need to exploit this issue?

The attacker must be an authenticated user with at least the Process Optimization Standard User role (or any equivalent role that can reach and control the affected query parameters). Anonymous exploitation is unlikely if the vulnerable features are gated behind authentication.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The most robust fix is to replace all dynamic SQL that incorporates user-influenced data with parameterized queries or tightly scoped stored procedures, and to ensure the database account used by the application operates with minimal necessary privileges instead of administrative rights.
