An 8-bit AVR executes instructions from on board flash memory that requires twiddling hardware lines to erase and rewrite.
Remote code execution isn't a concern.

AVR ATMega is self programmable ie a bootloader can re-flash it if its configured to allow but you would need some code already resident on the flash to allow, it couldnt be done without this code.
