Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable from the internet?

It is typically exploitable from the local network or by local processes that can reach the service. Internet-scale exploitation depends on whether the OpenClaw control interface is exposed beyond the local environment, which is generally not recommended.

What level of access does an attacker need?

An attacker needs network-level access to the host and port where the `/agent/act` endpoint is listening, or local process access on the same machine. No valid credentials or prior session information are required.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

Treat all browser-control endpoints as administrative APIs: require strong authentication, authorize each request based on the caller's identity and intended target session, and minimize who can reach the interface through network access controls.
