Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the network?

Yes. If install.php or container-install.php are reachable over HTTP(S), a remote party with at least minimal authenticated access—and in some REMOTE_USER configurations possibly no valid credentials at all—can attempt to modify configuration.

What level of access does an attacker need?

In typical deployments, any standard authenticated user account can exploit this due to missing role checks. In environments where REMOTE_USER is set without proper authentication enforcement, the attack surface may extend to unauthenticated network users who can reach the application URL.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this issue?

Apply strict role-based authorization to all installer and configuration endpoints, and disable or remove installer/upgrade scripts from normal runtime environments once deployment is complete. Access to LDAP and other global configuration should be limited to a dedicated, minimal set of administrator roles.
