Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

It can be exploitable remotely if the WebAdmin interface is exposed to the internet and an attacker can obtain or coerce low-privileged administrative access, for example via credential theft, weak passwords, or phishing.

Does exploitation require high-privileged administrator access?

No. The critical aspect of this vulnerability is that a low-privileged admin (or any role able to modify the affected fields) can plant the malicious payload, which then executes in the browser of a higher-privileged administrator who later views the affected pages.

What is the safest general fix pattern for developers?

Adopt a strict output-encoding-by-default model: ensure that all dynamic values in WebAdmin templates pass through context-appropriate encoding functions, and validate/normalize log and certificate-related inputs so they cannot inject active HTML or script content into the UI.
