Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes, if an attacker can gain a position on the network path between communicating components (for example, through compromised infrastructure, Wi-Fi access, or shared segments), they may remotely capture or manipulate traffic without local access to the hosts.

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

An attacker generally needs network-level access sufficient to observe or tamper with traffic between Process Optimization components or clients and servers. This could be achieved through access to the same network segment, control over a router or switch, ARP spoofing, or other man-in-the-middle techniques.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this vulnerability class?

The most robust pattern is to enforce encrypted, authenticated transport for all communication paths, such as mandating TLS with strong cipher suites and certificate validation, and to disable or block plaintext protocols and ports. This should be treated as a baseline requirement rather than an optional hardening step.
