Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

Yes. If an attacker can influence data or configuration that supplies SVG icons (for example through a shared database, project, or configuration interface), the payload can be stored and later rendered in other users' browsers or desktop apps.

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

The attacker needs a way to inject or modify SVG icon strings that the application will later display. This often requires at least a basic user account or indirect write access to underlying data, but does not require direct access to the victim's browser or desktop.

What is the safest general fix pattern for this issue?

The most robust fix is to eliminate raw HTML rendering of user-controlled icon data: restrict icons to a controlled set or tightly validated format, sanitize any SVG content with an allowlist-based sanitizer, and ensure that rendering uses escaped outputs rather than DOM injection primitives. In Electron, also harden the runtime by disabling Node integration and enabling context isolation.
