Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

It can be, if an attacker can supply or influence JavaScript executed inside SandboxJS—such as through user-generated scripts, plugin systems, or configuration-driven code. In such cases, remote inputs can translate into sandbox escapes and remote code execution.

Does exploitation require authenticated access?

It depends on how SandboxJS is integrated. If only authenticated users can provide scripts to the sandbox, then authentication is required; if any external party can submit code that is run in the sandbox, then unauthenticated remote exploitation may be possible.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The safest pattern is to ensure that sandboxed code cannot reach powerful host objects or reflective prototype APIs, and to run untrusted code in isolated, least-privileged processes or containers. Limiting exposed capabilities and enforcing strict boundaries at both the library and process levels significantly reduces risk.
