Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes. Anyone who can load the affected NEXULEAN application or inspect its public assets can potentially discover and misuse the exposed API keys, without needing prior authentication.

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

Only basic network access to the public application is typically required. The attacker just needs the ability to view or intercept client-side resources (such as JavaScript bundles) where the keys are exposed.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this type of vulnerability?

Remove all sensitive service credentials from client-side code, move interactions with external services to a server-side component, scope keys with least privilege, and enforce strong authentication and authorization at the backend.
