Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes, but it requires authentication. Any attacker who can obtain valid credentials and reach the `/api/common/attach/delete` endpoint can attempt to exploit the path traversal behavior over the network.

What level of access is required to exploit this issue?

The attacker must be an authenticated user with permission to use the administrative backend or the relevant attachment deletion API. The exact required role depends on how the instance is configured, but it does not require shell or OS-level access.

What is the safest general fix pattern for developers?

The most robust pattern is to treat all incoming paths as untrusted, resolve them to absolute paths under a defined base directory, and enforce that the final path remains within that directory before performing any filesystem operation. Additionally, use opaque identifiers instead of raw paths in APIs where possible.
