Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes. If the vulnerable `image.php` endpoint is reachable over the network and accepts attacker-controlled input, an attacker can exploit it remotely.

Does an attacker need authenticated access?

That depends on how ZoneMinder is configured. If the image view is exposed without authentication or with weak access controls, unauthenticated exploitation may be possible. Where strong authentication and access restrictions protect the endpoint, an attacker would first need valid access.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The safest pattern is to remove shell command construction from user input entirely, replacing it with native PHP or library functionality. If external processes are truly necessary, use safe process execution APIs with strict allowlisted parameters and avoid invoking a shell.
