Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes. As long as the Podman Desktop HTTP server is reachable over the network, an unauthenticated attacker can exploit it remotely without any user interaction.

What level of access does an attacker need?

The attacker only needs network access to the exposed HTTP service port; no credentials, local shell access, or prior foothold on the host are required.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this kind of issue?

The most robust fix combines strict connection and timeout management, generic error responses that avoid leaking internal details, and limiting service exposure to trusted interfaces or networks by default.
