Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Not directly over the network in the typical case. An attacker must influence the App.txt settings file, which usually requires local access, compromise of the user profile, or control over a channel that syncs or distributes configuration files.

What level of access does an attacker need?

The attacker needs the ability to create, modify, or replace the App.txt configuration file that ADB Explorer reads. This could stem from local account compromise, shared directories with weak permissions, or malicious software already running on the system.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

Stop deserializing configuration data with `TypeNameHandling` enabled for untrusted input. Use simple data-only models, disable type-name handling, and, if polymorphism is unavoidable, restrict deserialization to an explicit set of known-safe types via a custom binder and validation layer.
