Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the internet?

Yes, it can be exploited remotely via the web interface, but the attacker must authenticate and have the `:browse_repository` permission on a project to reach the vulnerable endpoint.

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

The attacker needs a valid OpenProject user account with permission to browse the repository of a target project. No shell access or administrative OpenProject rights are required beyond that.

What is the safest general fix pattern for developers?

The most robust pattern is to eliminate direct command construction for Git and instead use well-audited libraries that handle arguments safely. When command invocation is unavoidable, enforce strict input validation (e.g., allow only commit hashes or known refs), reject anything resembling options, and use APIs that pass arguments as separate parameters rather than interpolated strings.
