Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes. If an attacker can remotely upload or supply a DOCX file that is processed by the affected XDocReport integration, the vulnerability can be exploited remotely within the privileges of the processing service.

What level of access does an attacker need?

The attacker needs whatever access is required to submit DOCX files to the application—this may be an authenticated user role or, in some cases, a public upload interface. No shell or local access to the server is required.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The most robust pattern is to ensure all XML parsing in the document-processing pipeline enforces secure settings: disable external entities and DTD processing, enable secure-processing flags, and run document-handling code in a restricted, least-privilege environment. Where feasible, abstract XML usage behind hardened utility components to avoid ad hoc parser configuration.
