So I want to see if there is a way to restrict crontab from running an executable or anything else from a world-writable directory, or subdirectory thereof.
I'm curious what your concern with cron is. Since cron, as several people have pointed out, just runs jobs with the privileges of the owner of the crontab, its jobs don't have any privileges beyond what the user has. So, if the user can do something dangerous, it would make sense to prevent it, but why attack the problem through cron?
