Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

It can be remotely exploitable if an attacker can reach the backup upload and restore interface over the network. Exploitation typically occurs through the normal web interface workflow by supplying a crafted backup archive.

Does an attacker need authenticated access to exploit this issue?

In many configurations, yes: backup and restore features are usually restricted to authenticated administrators. However, if these endpoints are misconfigured or exposed to lower-privilege users, those users could exploit the flaw to gain administrative control.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The safest pattern is to eliminate arbitrary SQL execution from uploaded backup files. Restrict restore operations to validated, data-only dumps; enforce strict whitelisting of allowed tables and commands; and run restores under a database account that lacks permission to modify authentication and security-sensitive structures.
