The architecture of the CDM is not defined.  It does appear to have privileged
access to the system, the path to the monitor pixels, and could well have
access to all system resources including storage.  Please defined the scope of
the CDM privileges to that your claims can be assessed.

This is not believable, the scope of the CDM is not defined, but taking a guess
it appears quite practical.
