Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

Yes, but it requires an attacker to have an authenticated account on the Coolify instance that can create projects. Once they create a malicious project name, the exploit triggers when an administrator later views or manages that project, even if the admin is accessing the system remotely.

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

The attacker needs at least low-privileged, authenticated access (such as a member role) with permission to create projects or similar entities where names are stored and later viewed by administrators.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this type of vulnerability?

The most reliable fix is to enforce
