Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes. If a remote user can supply or influence the JSONPath expressions passed into jsonpath's evaluation functions, they can potentially execute arbitrary JavaScript code on the server or in the browser.

What level of access does an attacker need?

The attacker needs a way to control all or part of a JSONPath string that is evaluated by jsonpath. This can be direct (e.g., an API parameter where clients submit JSONPath) or indirect (e.g., configuration, templates, or stored data that the application later uses as JSONPath).

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The safest fix is to stop treating JSONPath input as executable expressions. Use a JSONPath implementation that enforces a strictly declarative grammar, disallow embedded JavaScript or arbitrary expressions, and avoid generic evaluators such as `static-eval` for untrusted data.
