[BUG] #+CALL - permission error -bash

in org-babel-sh-evaluate
 file:~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.6.28/ob-shell.el::300

this do apply: (process-file "/tmp/babel-NfRG9P/sh-script-jmKNA4"
 "/tmp/babel-NfRG9P/sh-stdin-o3CEm5" #<buffer  *temp*> nil nil)

I don't allow executables in /tmp folder!

How to make it this way:

(process-file "/use/bin/bash /tmp/babel-NfRG9P/sh-script-jmKNA4"
 "/tmp/babel-NfRG9P/sh-stdin-o3CEm5" #<buffer  *temp*> nil nil)

???

It is like when you do:
./a.sh

instead of:
bash a.sh

Why do you think that it is a bug in Org mode?
AFAIK, it is generally expected that anything can go into tmp.

There are various guides recommending noexec, however they warn that 
some issues should be expected.

Likely you mean

(process-file "/usr/bin/bash"
  "/tmp/babel-NfRG9P/sh-stdin-o3CEm5" #<buffer  *temp*> nil 
"/tmp/babel-NfRG9P/sh-script-jmKNA4")

but it would ignore shebang. Try

#!/bin/sh -e
false
printf "Should not be executed\n"

So it is necessary to either drop :shebang or set temporary directory to 
a suitable path.

How about:

(setq org-babel-temporary-directory
      (let ((temporary-file-directory "/path/you/prefer"))
        (make-temp-file "babel-" t)))
