Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes, if a remote user can supply or modify templates, or control variables that determine the file paths used in layout, render, or include tags, they can remotely trigger arbitrary file access when the server renders those templates.

What level of access does an attacker need?

An attacker generally needs the ability to influence template content or path variables. This might be through a template editor, theme customization feature, CMS field that interpolates into templates, or any other mechanism that feeds untrusted data into layout, render, or include tags while dynamicPartials is enabled.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

Constrain all template file resolution to a dedicated template directory, reject absolute paths, and ideally use a strict allowlist of permitted templates or partials. Additionally, avoid allowing untrusted users to directly specify include paths or to control dynamic partial names.
