Catalysis of the hydrolysis of any ester bond. Catalysis of the reaction: S-acylglutathione + H2O = glutathione + a carboxylate. Catalysis of the reaction: RCO-SR' + H2O = RCOOH + HSR'. This reaction is the hydrolysis of a thiolester bond, an ester formed from a carboxylic acid and a thiol (i.e., RCO-SR'), such as that found in acetyl-coenzyme A.
