WASM is originally designed for the sandbox, but it doesn't mean that all its practical applications have to be sandboxed.

Wasm (not an acronym) assumes a sandbox, if an execution environment doesn't provide a sandbox it needs to clearly call that out.

This one clearly needs work in validating the Wasm sent to it.

Isn't it a combination of the first letter of Web and the common abbreviation for assembly language, ASM?

They're correct - it's an abbreviation (of Web assembly), but it's not an acronym, so "Wasm" is the proper casing.
