How broadly exploitable is this vulnerability?

Exploitability depends on how widely FileUtil_GetFileInfo is exposed to untrusted input. If only trusted internal components provide paths, risk is lower; if external users or remote systems can influence those paths, the vulnerability becomes broadly exploitable.

What level of access does an attacker need?

An attacker must be able to control or significantly influence the file path argument passed into FileUtil_GetFileInfo, typically through a command, configuration field, or network-driven input that the application consumes.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The safest pattern is to centralize path handling in a dedicated validation function that canonicalizes the input, checks it against a fixed base directory or allowlist, and rejects any path that attempts to traverse outside permitted locations before it reaches FileUtil_GetFileInfo.
