Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes, if the OliveTin interface is exposed over a network reachable by an attacker, they can exploit the issue remotely without authenticating, as long as they can send KillAction RPC requests.

What level of access does an attacker need?

The attacker only needs network-level access to the OliveTin service. No valid dashboard session or credentials are required when the vulnerable behavior is present.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The safest pattern is to route all RPC and web handlers through a centralized authentication and authorization layer that enforces configuration policies (such as `authRequireGuestsToLogin`) uniformly, and to require appropriate permissions for any action that can affect running processes.
