Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

Yes, if the AutoGPT Platform's block execution APIs are exposed over the network and an attacker can obtain an authenticated account, they can exploit this vulnerability remotely to execute code on the server.

Does an attacker need administrative privileges to exploit this?

No. The described behavior allows *any* authenticated user to execute the disabled `BlockInstallationBlock`, which is enough to achieve remote code execution. In default self-hosted setups with open signup, an attacker can often create such an account themselves.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this issue?

The safest pattern is to strictly enforce block states and authorization at the API boundary and to eliminate or heavily restrict blocks that generate and execute arbitrary code. High-privilege blocks should be internal-only, require explicit administrative roles, and avoid dynamic code execution where possible.
