Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes, in scenarios where an attacker can control or influence the network path between NeuVector and the OpenID Connect provider. This often requires network-level access (e.g., same LAN, compromised router, or malicious gateway), but does not necessarily require local access to the NeuVector host itself.

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

The attacker generally needs the ability to perform man-in-the-middle attacks on the TLS connection, such as DNS spoofing, ARP poisoning, or control over a proxy or routing device. They do not need valid user credentials if they can successfully impersonate the OIDC provider or tamper with authentication traffic.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The most robust fix pattern is to enforce strict TLS verification for all OIDC-related connections: validate certificates against trusted CAs, verify hostnames, and avoid permissive or "insecure" TLS options. Where possible, combining this with certificate or key pinning adds an additional layer of assurance.
