Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the network?

Yes. As described, the MLflow Tracking Server can be exploited remotely wherever its artifact endpoints are network-accessible, and no authentication is required under the vulnerable configuration.

What level of access does an attacker need?

The attacker needs only network reachability to the Tracking Server; no valid credentials are required. However, their effective impact is bounded by the filesystem permissions of the MLflow service account and how the deployment consumes artifact files.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The most robust fix is to normalize all user-supplied artifact paths, resolve them against a fixed artifact root directory, and reject any path that would escape that directory. Combined with isolating artifact storage from application/config paths and running under least privilege, this significantly reduces the risk.
