Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

It can be remotely exploitable if an attacker can deliver a crafted file to a victim and get it imported by the app (for example via email, messaging, browser download, or shared storage). The attacker does not need local shell access, but they do typically rely on user interaction.

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

The attacker needs the ability to influence the file passed into the import process. In most realistic scenarios, this means persuading a user to open or import a malicious file within the app, or controlling an external component that feeds files into the app.

What is the safest general fix pattern for developers?

The safest approach is to strictly lock imported files to a dedicated, non-executable directory with enforced, application-generated filenames, and to disallow any user input from directly controlling the destination path or filename. Additionally, avoid writing into directories that contain code or critical configuration.
