That's part of the "more complex" system I was referring to. If you want to 
have a different level of access, you'll need to create a real TW-syncer, 
where you can do whatever you want. ... 

But this system is still vulnerable to eg: social engineering 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_engineering_(security)>. I can give 
you 10 different txt files, that contain javascript code. Every single one 
of them doesn't do something special. Then I can give you a malicious 
plugin that isn't related to the text files. .. eg: a presentation plugin, 
that will allow you to present tiddlers in a nice way. ... The next time 
you save your wiki the text files are combined into a library module, with 
full access to your wiki data. 

So the problem here is, that you should only use plugins, that you really 
trust!

BUT that's not a TW problem. That's general security problem.
