I think the most reliable solution is to take advantage of a level in the
system that already has to provide protection against malicious code: use a
chroot jail. Or run a complete virtualized machine with its own OS
installation. Then the code is free to do what it wants, it simply won't
see anything sensitive that it could compromise.
