Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the network?

It generally requires the ability to control the aircraft's modes and arming state, which is typically limited to authorized pilots via RC transmitters or ground control stations. Network-based exploitation would only be possible if an attacker can impersonate or control those interfaces.

Does an attacker need physical access to exploit this behavior?

Not necessarily physical access to the vehicle itself, but they do need control over the pilot input channel (e.g., RC, telemetry link). A malicious or compromised operator, or someone who can inject equivalent control signals, could trigger the behavior.

What is the safest general fix pattern for developers?

The safest pattern is to centralize arming logic and enforce a unified set of safety checks for all ground-based arming operations, while isolating emergency in-air re-arm logic so that it cannot be triggered from ground states or ambiguous conditions.
