How widely exploitable is this vulnerability?

Exploitability is limited to authenticated users who can upload backups and trigger or influence restore operations. In single-user, tightly controlled setups, the risk is essentially self-compromise, but in shared or exposed deployments, a lower-privileged authenticated user could leverage this to gain full command execution on the host.

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

An attacker needs an account on the Runtipi instance with the ability to upload backup files and either directly trigger a restore or rely on an administrator to restore the crafted backup. No direct shell access is required; exploitation occurs through the application's restore workflow.

What is the safest general fix pattern for developers?

The safest fix is to stop passing user-controlled filenames to shell interpreters entirely. Use safe process execution APIs without `shell=true`, generate internal canonical filenames instead of trusting user-provided names, and strictly validate or normalize any file-related parameters before use.
