Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes, it can be remotely exploitable through the Open OnDemand web interface, provided an attacker can reach the Files application and supply crafted directory navigation input.

What level of access does an attacker need?

The attacker typically needs access to the Files application, which in many deployments requires user authentication to the HPC portal. The exact access level needed depends on how the portal is exposed and configured.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The safest pattern is to strictly validate and normalize all directory navigation input, restrict navigation to approved base directories, and ensure that any interaction with downstream components uses parameterized calls rather than string concatenation.
