Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the network?

Yes. Any user who can reach the Gogs web interface or API and authenticate with an account that has wiki write permissions to a repository can attempt to exploit this issue by crafting the `old_title` parameter.

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

The attacker must have a valid Gogs account and write access to the target repository's wiki. Anonymous users without such permissions cannot directly leverage this specific flaw.

What is the safest general fix pattern for developers?

The safest pattern is to treat all path components derived from user input as untrusted: canonicalize and validate them against a fixed base directory, and never use raw titles or arbitrary strings directly in filesystem operations. Using internal IDs or sanitized slugs mapped on the server side greatly reduces risk.
