Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the network?

Yes. As long as an attacker can reach the GLPI web interface where the search engine is exposed, they can attempt to exploit the vulnerability without local access to the server.

Does an attacker need to be authenticated to exploit this issue?

No. The issue is described as an *unauthenticated* SQL injection, meaning an attacker does not need valid GLPI credentials if the vulnerable search functionality is publicly accessible.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this kind of bug?

The safest pattern is to remove any direct string-based SQL construction influenced by user input and replace it with parameterized queries or a safe query abstraction that enforces strict separation between query structure and data, combined with strong validation and allowlisting of search parameters.
