Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes. If the save_report functionality is exposed over HTTP or another remote interface, an attacker who can reach that interface can attempt to exploit the path traversal by manipulating the file_format parameter.

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

Typically, the attacker must be able to trigger the report-saving operation—often requiring at least a basic user account or API access. In some misconfigured deployments, this functionality might even be exposed to unauthenticated users.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this vulnerability class?

The most robust fix is to decouple user input from filesystem paths: restrict file_format to a fixed whitelist of logical formats, map them to server-side extensions, and ensure all file writes are constrained to a dedicated export directory with canonical path checks that reject traversal.
