Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

It can be remotely exploitable if an attacker can control or significantly influence the `logfile` parameter through network-accessible interfaces, such as web APIs, CI configuration endpoints, or other remotely managed settings.

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

The attacker must be able to provide or modify the value that the application passes as `logfile` to the `browserstack-local` integration, either directly (e.g., request parameters) or indirectly (e.g., config files, environment variables, or project settings).

What is the safest general fix pattern?

Use command-execution APIs that do not invoke a shell by default, apply strict allowlist-based validation on all path-like inputs, and ensure that any log file configuration is reduced to known-safe values rather than arbitrary strings.
