Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

It can be, if the LDAP ingestion traffic traverses networks an attacker can influence (including the public internet or poorly segmented internal networks). The attacker needs to be able to intercept or manipulate the traffic path between DataHub and the LDAP server; it is not exploitable purely through the application's public HTTP interface.

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

The attacker must have on-path network capabilities between the DataHub LDAP ingestion component and the LDAP server, such as control of a router, switch, proxy, or the ability to perform techniques like ARP or DNS spoofing within the relevant network segment.

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

Enforce strong, fail-closed TLS semantics for all LDAP connections: require TLS, validate server certificates and hostnames, disallow insecure protocols and cipher suites, and ensure configuration cannot silently bypass these safeguards.
