I think you’d need to either grant permissions (eg allow-ffi) or find a privilege escalation bug in V8 or Deno’s Rust bindings. The latter is less likely for sure. But being realistic, most people using Deno are granting some privileges, because most use cases at minimum do some I/O.

I’m academically interested if there are other such exploits, too. But I’d expect if they’re found they’ll be patched before they’re disclosed (or they’ll be exploited in the wild).
