Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable from the Internet?

It can be, but it depends on how the router is exposed. If remote administration is enabled on the WAN interface or if port forwarding/firewall rules allow access to the management port from the Internet, an external attacker could exploit these endpoints. Otherwise, exploitation is typically limited to attackers on the local or adjacent network.

What level of access does an attacker need?

An attacker only needs network-level access to reach the router's web interface; no credentials are required. This could be anyone connected to the same Wi-Fi network, a compromised device on the LAN, or a remote attacker if the interface is accessible from the Internet.

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

The most robust fix is to enforce mandatory authentication and authorization for every configuration-changing endpoint, implemented via a centralized access-control layer. All handlers that modify network or wireless settings should verify an authenticated admin session and appropriate privileges before applying changes.
