Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes, if the phpMyAdmin port is exposed to the internet or any untrusted network, an attacker can remotely exploit the hard-coded credentials to gain database access.

What level of access does an attacker need?

The attacker only needs network-level access to the phpMyAdmin service; no prior authentication to the application is required when the default credentials remain in place.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

Remove or disable default administrative tools in production, ensure any remaining tools require strong, unique credentials, and store those credentials in secure secret management systems instead of in configuration files.
