Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

It can be, depending on architecture. If a remote user can influence values that flow into `to_postgis()` (for example via HTTP APIs or uploaded data), then the SQL injection can be triggered remotely through the application.

What level of access does an attacker need?

The attacker needs the ability to control or significantly influence inputs used by the vulnerable `to_postgis()` call—such as table names, schema identifiers, or other fields that affect query structure—and the application must use a database account with meaningful privileges.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The most robust fix is to ensure all SQL-related behavior around `to_postgis()` uses parameterized operations and strictly validated, whitelisted identifiers, combined with least-privilege database accounts so injected SQL cannot access or modify unintended data.
