Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

Yes, it can be triggered remotely if the Craft CMS Control Panel is accessible over the network and an attacker can authenticate, but it is not exploitable by unauthenticated users by default.

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

The attacker must possess valid Control Panel credentials with permission to access element indexes and invoke the `element-indexes/get-elements` endpoint. They do not need direct database access; the application acts as the conduit.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this type of vulnerability?

Replace dynamic SQL concatenation with structured query building that maps user input to a predefined set of allowed fields and directions. All ordering options should be whitelisted and resolved server-side, ensuring that user input cannot introduce raw SQL fragments into the query.
