The wildcard granted passwordless root for timedatectl set-timezone plus any trailing arguments, so -H/--host and -M/--machine reached the SSH and machine transports as root. Systemd 261 guards argv injection into ssh, but -H still drives root's SSH client at an attacker-chosen host, and the transport resolves its helper through PATH; only Defaults secure_path stands between that and a planted ssh running as root. Match the argument with an anchored POSIX ERE that admits exactly one timezone token (no whitespace, no leading-dash segment, no traversal component), so no second argument and no option can ever match. The sole caller, omarchy-menu-timezone, passes one list-timezones value and is unaffected.
