JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is just a data format. .. So as long as 
you don't execute, executable content, nothing happens. ... BUT it's *not *a 
sandbox.

If a JSON tiddler contains the right structure _and_ type fields. eg: "type": 
"application/javascript", Tiddlywiki will interpret it as a plugin. If you 
import the content, save and reload the page it will be activated. ... Then 
it can do harm!

For TW the same rules apply as for any other content from the web. *Don't 
install stuff from sources, you don't trust.* 

This is really important, since with tiddlywiki, we don't have any signing 
mechanism in place, where a user could verify, if a plugin source has be 
modified. ...
