Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

No, the described issue is local in nature. An attacker must be able to run or influence Caesium Image Compressor on the target system, typically as a local user or via local automation.

What level of access does an attacker need?

The attacker needs local access sufficient to execute the application or modify its relevant settings/configuration. They do not necessarily need administrative rights initially, but the impact scales with the privileges under which the application runs.

What is the safest general fix pattern for developers?

The safest pattern is to remove any dependency on shell commands for shutdown or sleep actions and instead use system-level APIs with fixed, parameterized options. All user-controllable input should be validated against strict allowlists and never directly interpolated into command or script strings.
