tl;dr whichever system using an ESP32 as a bluetooth adapter may also just run arbitrary code on the ESP32 itself over the same interface. Commands have to be issued from the host system, not from the air.

This sounds like... a good feature? There are indeed some scenarios where doing so poses a security risk. But most of the time I do want to be able to run arbitrary code on e.g. my WiFi dongle when I'm in control. I know FCC is not a fan of this idea though.
