How broadly exploitable is this vulnerability?

Exploitability depends on how PandasAI is exposed. If the Chat Message Handler is accessible to untrusted users over a network (for example, via a chatbot API or web interface), the vulnerability can often be exploited remotely by sending crafted prompts that reach `CodeExecutor.execute`.

What level of access does an attacker need?

The attacker typically needs the ability to interact with a PandasAI-powered interface that processes their messages and routes them to the code execution path. No direct shell access is required; simple message-sending or API access may be enough, depending on the integration.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The safest pattern is to remove or strictly constrain dynamic code execution: replace free-form code evaluation with a controlled set of operations, run any remaining dynamic code inside a tightly sandboxed environment, and ensure no direct execution of raw user-derived strings.
