Access to system files in replit CLI

Problem description:
Users can access and manipulate system files of REPL. I was playing with dart on https://replit.com/languages/dart and found this bug.

Expected behavior:
Users must not be allowed access to all such vulnerable files.

Actual behavior:
Users can openly access, delete, and edit system files on servers

Steps to reproduce:

There might be other links too but I was working on https://replit.com/languages/dart

Browser/OS/Device:

I am pretty sure replit resets all files that are modified on restart that are below your repl home directory. So try running kill 1 and see if they exist again. (It is all virtual to your repl, you have no actual access.)

This is not a bug. You have access to the files because it’s your Repl. They’re your files.
