Browsers have their security model. On the other hand, when you install an executable binary or a Node.js program, you don't expect to have the same security model.
This project fits in the latter category. It does not claim that downloaded binaries are protected by a sandbox, and the only security claim it makes is the following weak one: “The generated code should be unable to access any memory outside of the addresses allocated to it”.
