Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

Yes, if the Dgraph admin GraphQL endpoint is exposed to the internet or reachable from a hostile network segment. The missing authorization means no credentials are needed to invoke `restoreTenant`.

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

Only network access to the admin API is required. There is no need for valid user accounts, Guardian-of-Galaxy keys, or prior foothold in the system, assuming the endpoint is reachable.

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

Adopt a centralized, mandatory authorization layer that all admin operations must go through, and enforce that new mutations or endpoints cannot be registered without explicit auth configuration. Treat backup/restore and file/URL-handling operations as privileged actions behind strong authentication and role checks.
