Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

Yes, if the OpenSTAManager instance is exposed over the network and an attacker can obtain valid credentials, they can send crafted AJAX requests to the vulnerable endpoints to exploit the SQL injection remotely.

Does exploitation require authentication or special privileges?

Exploitation requires an authenticated user with access to the affected AJAX select handlers. The exact privilege level depends on how the application's roles and menus are configured, but the flaw is not exploitable by unauthenticated users by default.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this issue?

The most robust fix is to replace all string-concatenated SQL that incorporates `options[stato]` with parameterized queries, and to treat `stato` as a constrained value mapped through an allowlist. Avoid passing user data directly into SQL expressions and use a shared, well-tested data access layer for all AJAX handlers.
