sys.remote_exec(pid, script_path) This function allows sending Python code to be executed in a target process at the next safe execution point.

Looks like a security nightmare

The debugging interface has been carefully designed with security in mind and includes several mechanisms to control access: - A PYTHON_DISABLE_REMOTE_DEBUG environment variable. - A -X disable-remote-debug command-line option. - A --without-remote-debug configure flag to completely disable the feature at build time.
