Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes, if the `/logger` endpoint is exposed over the network to untrusted or semi-trusted clients, an attacker can remotely trigger arbitrary file appends by sending crafted requests.

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

The vulnerability can be exploited with minimal privileges; a read-only role that can call the `/logger` endpoint is sufficient, assuming that role can influence the `on_disk.log_file` parameter.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this kind of issue?

The safest pattern is to avoid accepting arbitrary file paths from clients for logging or other filesystem operations. Instead, restrict choices to a small set of predefined, server-controlled destinations and enforce directory constraints and path validation.
