Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

It can be, but only if the affected admin APIs are reachable (directly or indirectly) from the attacker's network location and the attacker also knows the pagination or system secret. In many deployments, admin APIs are intended to be internal-only, which reduces but does not eliminate the risk if network boundaries are weak or misconfigured.

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

The attacker must be able to send requests that carry pagination tokens to one of the vulnerable admin endpoints, and they must know the secret used to encrypt or sign those tokens (`secrets.pagination` or `secrets.system`). Without both conditions, crafting effective malicious tokens is significantly harder.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this class of bug?

The most robust fix is to ensure that decrypted or parsed token contents are never allowed to change SQL query structure. All database access should use parameterized queries or ORM-style builders where token-derived values are treated purely as data and validated against a strict schema before use, combined with strong, compartmentalized secrets.
