Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

It can be, if the router's web administration interface is exposed over the WAN or internet. If management access is restricted to an internal network only, an attacker would need access to that local network.

Does an attacker need valid credentials to exploit this issue?

Not necessarily. The vulnerability involves improper authentication, so in affected configurations an attacker may be able to access protected functionality without valid credentials or by partially bypassing the login process.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The most robust fix is to route all administrative and configuration requests through a centralized, mandatory authentication and authorization layer, ensuring that every sensitive endpoint (including hidden ones) verifies a valid session and appropriate privileges.
