Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

It can be, depending on how the environment is exposed. If an attacker can remotely influence the environment variables (such as through a deployment service, job scheduler, or configuration API) or write the logging configuration file, they can trigger code execution when the Kedro application starts.

What level of access does an attacker need?

An attacker needs the ability to control either: - The KEDRO_LOGGING_CONFIG environment variable (to point to a malicious configuration file), or - The contents of the logging configuration file referenced by that variable. This may be achievable via compromised automation, misconfigured CI/CD pipelines, insufficiently isolated multi-tenant environments, or other configuration channels.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The safest pattern is to avoid feeding unvalidated, mutable configuration into logging.config.dictConfig(). Replace environment-driven, arbitrary logging configuration with a fixed, code-defined schema; validate any external configuration strictly against an allowlist, and disallow dynamic callable construction (including the `()` key) in untrusted configs.
