Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

Yes, if the Kestra API is exposed over the network and an attacker can obtain or abuse valid credentials, they can send crafted requests to the vulnerable endpoint. The injection is triggered over HTTP, but requires authentication.

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

The attacker must be an authenticated user with the ability to access the `/api/v1/main/flows/search` endpoint. No elevated application role is strictly required if normal users can trigger flow searches, but the exact risk depends on how roles and permissions are configured.

What is the safest general fix pattern for developers?

Refactor all database access code to use parameterized queries or safe query-building abstractions so that user input cannot influence SQL structure. In parallel, ensure the database user used by the application does not have permissions to execute OS-level commands, including disabling or restricting features like `COPY ... TO PROGRAM ...` for that role.
