Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

Yes. Any attacker who can reach the Erugo web interface and obtain a low-privileged account with share-creation and upload rights can exploit this issue remotely, provided the instance is accessible over the network.

Does an attacker need administrative access to exploit this?

No. The vulnerability is exploitable by authenticated low-privileged users. They only need the ability to create shares and upload files; administrator or system-level permissions are not required for initial compromise.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this class of bug?

The most robust fix is to strictly confine all uploads to non-executable storage locations managed entirely by the server (not by user-supplied paths), enforce strong validation of file types, and ensure that no uploaded file can ever be executed or interpreted as code by the web server or application runtime.
