I'd really like to know more information about the vulnerability but can't seem to find anything online.

mjamin opened a bug on GitHub, perhaps we'll get an update from Ben or a contributor. https://github.com/bhollis/jsonview/issues/135

Do we have more information about this? Is Google correct and should we switch to something else?

The work must go on. I ended up installing JSON Formatter. Appears potentially abandoned though.
