Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

Yes. Because Ghost login and admin interfaces are typically exposed over the web, an attacker can remotely exploit this issue by luring victims to attacker-controlled pages that cause the victim's browser to send crafted `/session/verify` requests as part of a phishing campaign.

Does an attacker need an existing account or prior access?

Not necessarily. The attacker primarily needs the ability to trick a legitimate user into interacting with a malicious page. However, realistic exploitation usually assumes the victim has or is establishing a valid session or login flow that the attacker can attempt to complete or hijack.

What is the safest general fix pattern for developers?

The most robust fix is to enforce full CSRF protection and strict session binding for all authentication-related endpoints. One-time codes must be tied to the exact session and flow that initiated them, checked alongside anti-CSRF tokens, and invalidated immediately after use. This ensures that even if an attacker can induce requests from a victim's browser, those requests cannot complete verification in a different session context.
