Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the network?

Yes, if the device's management interface is reachable from the attacker's network location, the issue can typically be exploited without prior authentication.

Does an attacker need valid credentials to exploit this?

No. The weakness stems from missing authentication on critical account-management functions, so network access to the management interface is usually sufficient.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this issue?

Enforce mandatory authentication and proper authorization on all administrative and account-management endpoints, preferably by routing them through a centralized access control layer rather than relying on ad hoc checks.
