Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

It can be, but only in deployments where `system.run` is reachable—directly or indirectly—from a remote attacker. If `system.run` is exposed through higher-level APIs or workflows that accept untrusted input, a remote adversary may be able to exploit the mismatch.

What level of access does an attacker need?

The attacker must be able to invoke `system.run` with some control over the command parameters in an environment configured with allowlist-based execution and approval-on-miss. This may require authenticated access or the compromise of another component that can call `system.run`.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

Align authorization with execution by enforcing strict consistency between the command representation used for allowlist/approval evaluation and the argv actually executed, ideally using a single canonical structure for both policy checks and process spawning, with validation at both gateway and node host boundaries.
