How broadly exploitable is this vulnerability?

Exploitation is limited to authenticated users who can reach the affected HTTP endpoint, but within that scope it can be highly impactful, enabling arbitrary command execution on the server. The practical breadth of exploitation depends on how widely those credentials or roles are distributed and how exposed the application is to untrusted users.

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

An attacker generally needs valid authentication to the Passy instance and the ability to send crafted HTTP requests to the vulnerable functionality. Additional authorization may be required depending on how the endpoint is protected within the application's role and permission model.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The most robust fix is to eliminate shell-based command construction that incorporates user-controlled data. Use parameterized process execution APIs, restrict commands to a fixed set of predefined options, and ensure any remaining user input is strictly validated against an allowlist before being passed as arguments.
