In this case, full read access to the filesystem via JSP (meaning that
even if passwords are not set in the CF Admin, they can be obtained from
the code) and no sandboxing of datasources (on my account at least, but
that may be irrelevant since JSP is installed). That's all it took to
accomplish this example, but I could have done more as CFOBJECT /
createObject() are also enabled.

A reasonable attempt at security would entail disabling JSP, disabling
CFOBJECT/createObject() and sandboxing datasources and files.

So what exactly is the security issue?  Username/password set in the
datasource?  Full access to the file system?
