Its no surprise to me that XNA is ONLY .Net based. .Net (like Java etc) provides out of the box sandboxing. So in theory the runtime can prevent this kind of operation from happening.
The .Net runtime has years of testing to ensure that the sandbox is secure - you can never be 100% certain of anything security-weise but it has good pedigree and plenty of testing time even before it got to xbox testing (which I bet is brutal!).
