Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

It can be, if the Frigate instance is accessible over a network and an attacker can obtain or create a viewer-level account. In local-only deployments restricted to trusted users, the practical risk is reduced but not eliminated.

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

An attacker needs valid credentials for a viewer-role (or similarly low-privileged) account. No administrative or special privileges are required beyond that role.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this vulnerability class?

Enforce strict server-side authorization checks for all sensitive operations, such as user deletion, ensuring only designated high-privilege roles can invoke them. Centralize and reuse authorization logic so that all critical actions pass through consistent permission validation.
