Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

Typically, it is only directly exploitable from the local network, because the Web Management Interface is usually bound to LAN-facing interfaces. However, if the device is configured for remote administration or is otherwise exposed to the wider internet, the risk extends beyond the local network.

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

The attacker must be able to reach the router's management IP, usually by being connected to the same LAN or Wi‑Fi network. With that network access and knowledge of the hard-coded credentials, the attacker may obtain administrative control of the device.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The safest pattern is to eliminate reliance on hard-coded credentials entirely. Authentication secrets should be fully configurable by the administrator, unique per device or deployment, and removable when not needed. Access to management interfaces should be tightly scoped to trusted networks and hosts.
