Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

It can be, if the administrative endpoint is reachable from external or untrusted networks. If the interface is only accessible from a tightly controlled management network, the effective exposure is reduced but not eliminated.

What level of access does an attacker need to exploit this?

The attacker typically only needs network-level access to the device or service that exposes the vulnerable endpoint. No prior authentication or valid account is required if the endpoint truly lacks authentication.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

Enforce mandatory authentication and authorization on all administrative and management endpoints using a centralized, well-reviewed access control mechanism, and ensure that these endpoints are not reachable from untrusted networks by default.
