Hmm, I noticed this but accidentally and tried to port 
https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/1635 to new api. Well:

>>> import multiprocessing
>>> import sys
>>> reader = 
>>> sys.modules['multiprocessing'].__spec__.loader.get_resource_reader('multiprocessing')
>>> reader.open_resource('../../../../etc/passwd')
<_io.FileIO name='/usr/lib/python3.7/multiprocessing/../../../../etc/passwd' 
mode='rb' closefd=True>

I suppose this is the case which deserve some thought (originally I faced it 
when some webapp used pkg_resources to provide static files and used resource 
api as a way to validate urls impacted by external input).

Tested on python 3.7.3, on Ubuntu 19.04.
