Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes. Any unauthenticated user with network access to the affected changedetection.io instance can reach the impacted routes without logging in.

What level of access does an attacker need?

Only network access to the web interface is required. No credentials or prior session are needed when hitting routes whose authentication wrapper is not in the call chain.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

Ensure that the framework's routing decorators are the outermost decorators so that the registered view function includes all authentication and authorization wrappers. Additionally, centralize access control where possible (e.g., middleware or before-request hooks) so decorator ordering mistakes are less likely to remove protections.
