Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

It can be, depending on how Kedro is integrated. If a web service, API, or orchestration layer exposes a way for external users or upstream systems to influence dataset version parameters, an attacker may exploit this remotely by supplying crafted version values.

What level of access does an attacker need?

The attacker must be able to control or significantly influence the version string passed into Kedro (via `version`, `load_versions`, or CLI arguments). They do not need shell access if there is any application or workflow that forwards their input into these parameters.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

Constrain version identifiers to a well-defined, validated format and ensure all computed paths are normalized and checked against an allowed base directory before use. In practice, this means treating versions as opaque identifiers (e.g., timestamps, UUIDs) and rejecting any value containing path separators or traversal tokens.
