Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable from the internet?

It can be, if the host or container environment is reachable from the internet and port 11211 is not filtered. If the service is only reachable on an internal network, exploitation is limited to actors with internal access.

Does an attacker need valid application credentials to exploit this?

No. The attacker interacts directly with the memcached service and does not need to authenticate to the AVideo web application. They only need network access to the exposed memcached port.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this type of issue?

The most robust fix is to ensure that session and cache backends are only accessible on private networks and not bound to public interfaces, combined with authentication and encryption for any backend service that must be network-accessible.
