Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

It is exploitable by any party that can make authenticated calls to the affected Git API endpoints. In many setups this may be local users, but in shared or networked environments it can effectively behave as a remote code execution issue.

Does an attacker need elevated privileges to exploit this?

No special OS privileges are required beyond authenticated access to the application. The injected commands run with the same privileges as the user or service account running Cloud CLI.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

Replace shell-based Git invocations using interpolated strings with library calls or process APIs that take arguments as arrays. Combine this with strict validation and normalization of all user-supplied Git parameters.
