Safety is nice, especially when it comes free.
Creating users is no big deal.

Even so, it's okay to fix. Just don't expect it to solve this
problem in general. If you're allowing customers to install
their own plugins, you're allowing them to execute code on
your server. If the server process has permission to do so they 
can still access outside files, within their own plugins.

Only way to prevent that is separate user accounts, and chroot.

Alternatively you can trust the (stupidity of) customers :-)
