Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes. If the Chevereto installer or configuration endpoint is exposed over the network, an attacker can send crafted POST requests to exploit the vulnerability remotely.

Does an attacker need authenticated access to exploit this?

Typically no, provided the installation or configuration interface is publicly reachable and does not enforce authentication. However, if access to the installer is restricted by additional controls (e.g., HTTP auth, IP allowlists), those controls would raise the bar for exploitation.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this issue?

The safest pattern is to strictly validate and sanitize all configuration parameters, particularly those used in identifiers or file generation, and to avoid generating executable code from user-controlled data. In addition, ensure that installer scripts are not accessible in production environments and that the web server process cannot write executable files in web-accessible paths.
