[eli5] – Arbitrary Code Execution and Remote Code Execution

Question

Do rectify my understanding if I made a mistake.

For Arbitrary Code Execution, it refers to an attacker able to run any code on the target system usually done locally?

For Remote Code Execution, it has the same meaning as ACE but is done over the internet?

Answer 1

It’s more Arbitrary Code Executions is either remote or local, and Remote Code Execution is the explicitly remote.
Otherwise you got the gist.
Local Arbitrary Code Execution is just more often stuff like jailbreaking a phone or installing homebrew programs on a console. So not many people talk about it outside of those circles.
