Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

Yes, if the FreePBX administration interface is exposed over the network (for example, via HTTPS) and reachable by attackers, the vulnerability can be exploited remotely. However, exploitation still requires valid authentication with sufficient access to the logfiles module.

Does an attacker need administrative privileges to exploit this?

Not necessarily. The requirement is an authenticated account that can access the logfiles functionality. A lower-privileged user with such access may still be able to inject SQL, though the eventual impact can depend on application access controls and database privileges.

What is the safest general fix pattern for developers?

The most robust pattern is to ensure all database operations use parameterized queries or prepared statements and that any dynamic aspects of SQL (such as sort keys or column names) are derived from trusted, whitelisted values instead of raw user input. Complement this with strict validation and minimal database privileges.
