Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable beyond the local network?

It can be, depending on how the device is deployed. If the management interface is exposed to the internet or any untrusted network segment, remote attackers can attempt to exploit the improper authentication directly. If it is restricted to an internal network, exposure is limited to those who can reach that segment.

Does an attacker need valid credentials to exploit this issue?

Not necessarily. By definition, an improper authentication flaw means that some or all of the expected credential checks are missing or ineffective. In many cases, an attacker can trigger sensitive configuration functionality without valid login credentials or with only partial information.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this vulnerability?

The safest approach is to centralize and enforce authentication and authorization for every configuration and control endpoint. This typically means routing all such requests through a common authentication middleware, validating server-side session tokens, and ensuring that no direct path to configuration logic exists without those checks.
