Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes, it can be exploited remotely via the WebAdmin interface, provided the attacker can authenticate as a delegated admin user. It does not require direct network access to lower-level services, only to the administrative web interface.

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

The attacker needs valid credentials for a delegated admin account. Even an account configured with zero or minimal permissions can be sufficient due to the improper access control on the SSL certificate management endpoint.

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

The safest pattern is to implement centralized, explicit authorization checks based on clearly defined roles and permissions for every sensitive endpoint. Access to certificate management functions should be restricted to high-privilege roles only, using a deny-by-default model.
