Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable over the network?

Yes, if an attacker can obtain administrative access to the Signal K appstore interface over the network, they can exploit the vulnerable endpoint by sending crafted installation requests. The risk depends on how widely the admin interface is exposed and how credentials are protected.

What level of access does an attacker need to exploit this?

The attacker must have administrative-level access to the appstore API or UI—typically valid admin credentials or an equivalent token. Without admin privileges, the attacker should not be able to trigger the package installation flow.

What is the safest general fix pattern for developers?

The safest pattern is to strictly validate and constrain the `version` parameter before passing it to npm. Only allow semantic version strings or ranges that correspond to officially published versions of the validated package in the registry, and explicitly reject git URLs, HTTP/HTTPS URLs, and other dynamic specifiers.
