TLDR: Can someone explain if this is because WebAssembly is not doing the same kind of strict validation that NaCL (google native client) was doing ?

nevermind the paper is stupid and not saying there are way of breaking out of the wasm sandbox. It's simply saying if your WASM code was generated from C/C++ code that contain undefined behavior it might still do unexcepted things but those thing does not include breaking out of the sandbox.

This does not make the paper “stupid”.
