How broadly exploitable is this vulnerability?

Exploitation is typically local to systems where mise is installed and used on untrusted or semi-trusted repositories. The attacker must be able to supply or influence a `.mise.toml` file, but once that condition is met, execution can occur whenever mise processes the project.

Does an attacker need authenticated access to the victim's machine?

Not necessarily. The attacker primarily needs a path to deliver a malicious repository or configuration (for example, a public repo that a developer clones, or a pull request that modifies `.mise.toml`). The actual execution then occurs under the victim's local user or CI identity when mise is run.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this class of issue?

The most robust pattern is to decouple trust policy from project configuration: trust decisions should be based on external, trusted configuration or metadata, and must be evaluated before any project-specific directives are parsed or executed. Project files should never be allowed to determine their own trust level or unlock privileged behavior.
