Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes, if the goshs instance exposes the file deletion endpoint to a network where attackers can send HTTP requests, the vulnerability can be exploited remotely.

What level of access does an attacker need?

An attacker generally needs network access to the vulnerable goshs server and the ability to invoke the deletion endpoint; additional authentication requirements depend on how the server is configured.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The most robust fix is to ensure that, after any path validation failure (such as detecting traversal), the function immediately returns without performing file operations, and that it uses canonicalized paths constrained to a predefined root directory.
