Thanks for checking this problem.
I am convinced by the comments that this is not a pure Emacs issue, though
a step can still be taken to help users protect from this abuse.

For example, Notepad++ on Windows does not load user plugins (located in
AppData) when run as Administrator - unless an Administrator explicitly
puts a specific file in the protected installation directory
("allowAppDataPlugins.xml").

Best,
Dor Azouri
