Since when did DOS have any system level permissions? Maybe something after version 6 but I thought literally anyone could run anything at any time. Was a loooooooooong time ago though so I’m probably wrong.

It doesn't, pretty sure the repo is a joke. Their code doesn't do anything special, just runs the program you give it.
