Subject: Lua filter security: safe mode?

Hi all,
As discussed a while ago on
https://github.com/pandoc/lua-filters/issues/207#issuecomment-1067959808
and said in Pandoc's manual, running Lua filters downloaded from internet
is a security risk as Pandoc is run with full privileges.
But doesn't all the risk only comes for Lua's `os` module (and perhaps
io?), which few filters actually use? If so, would it be possible for
Pandoc to run Lua filters without this module, providing an alternative
flag (something like --lua-filter-safe) to run a filter safely?
