Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

It can be, but only if the router's HTTP management interface is exposed beyond the local network (e.g., remote administration enabled or misconfigured port forwarding). Otherwise, exploitation is typically limited to attackers with local network access.

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

The attacker needs the ability to send HTTP requests to the Tenda i6 management interface. No prior authentication may be required if the vulnerable handler is reachable before login or if access controls are weak.

What is the safest general fix pattern for developers?

Implement strict path handling: canonicalize user-supplied paths, enforce that all resolved paths stay under a predefined base directory, reject traversal patterns, and prefer whitelisted resource access instead of dynamic file resolution.
