Is this vulnerability exploitable over the network?

Not directly through the hashing function itself; exploitation typically occurs after an attacker obtains a copy of the password hashes (e.g., through another vulnerability, misconfiguration, or insider access), at which point they can perform offline cracking without interacting with the live system.

What level of access does an attacker need to abuse this weakness?

They must be able to read or exfiltrate stored password hashes, such as through database compromise, backup leakage, log exposure, or insecure data export.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this issue?

Migrate to a modern password hashing scheme that uses a slow, tunable algorithm with unique per-user salts, and plan a transition path that rehashes user passwords as they authenticate.
