> widget.system("sudo id >> /tmp/out", null);

ok, but this is not only specific to Dashboard widgets or Mac OS X  
10.4. This is also possible with every other malicious application  
which waits in the background until the user hits the sudo command to  
elevate its privileges. Also, if you remove the password grace period  
in the /etc/sudoers file, the trick will not work.

www.osvdb.org -- everything is vulnerable.
