Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

It can be exploited remotely in deployments where the Statamic control panel or relevant upload endpoints are exposed over the internet and an attacker can obtain credentials with asset upload permissions. Exploitation is not anonymous; it requires an authenticated user who can upload or reupload SVG assets.

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

The attacker needs an authenticated account in the Statamic instance with permissions to upload or reupload assets, specifically SVG files. They do not necessarily need full administrator rights, which makes multi-user environments with delegated content roles more exposed.

What is the safest general fix pattern for developers and integrators?

The safest pattern is to enforce robust SVG sanitization on all ingestion paths (upload and reupload), strip any active content (scripts, event handlers, external resources), and ensure that rendering paths do not inline untrusted SVG markup directly without sanitation. Where possible, limit who can upload SVGs and prefer rendering them as static images instead of inline, script-capable content.
