Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes, it can be remotely exploitable whenever a remote party can supply JavaScript to be executed in SandboxJS—for example, user-defined scripts, plugins, or multi-tenant business logic. The exploit does not require local system access beyond the ability to run code in the sandbox.

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

An attacker needs the ability to execute or influence JavaScript code inside the SandboxJS environment. No direct access to the host runtime or filesystem is required; the attack works entirely within the structure of the sandboxed code.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The safest pattern is to redesign sandbox enforcement so that it never relies on attacker-controlled object properties or methods for security-critical decisions. Use immutable, trusted references (e.g., `Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call`) or internal metadata for whitelist checks, and comprehensively block access to dangerous prototype-linked properties irrespective of sandbox object state.
