    This requires Administrator privileges, or the ability to act under the
    SYSTEM account.  With such privileges, anything is possible.  I wouldn't
    agree that this is a problem.
    
    The SAS is a guaranteed way of passing control to a SYSTEM process.
    Provided, of course, that your system has not been compromised, and that
    any other SAS implementations do not utilize non-privileged code.
