Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

It can be, depending on how the Tina dev server is exposed. If the dev media routes are reachable over the network and an attacker can interact with them, they may exploit this issue remotely, especially if they can influence or rely on existing symlinks/junctions under the media root.

What level of access does an attacker need?

The attacker needs HTTP access to the dev media endpoints and a context where symlinks or junctions under the media root point outside the directory. They do not necessarily need shell access, but local access or build tooling that creates such links can make exploitation easier.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The most robust fix is to resolve requested paths to their canonical, link-resolved form and then enforce that the final path is strictly within the configured media root before performing any list, write, or delete operation. Treat any path that resolves outside that root as invalid and reject it.
