Sandboxing blocks malicious code.

The App Sandbox in OS X helps ensure that apps do only what they’re intended to do. App sandboxing isolates apps from the critical system components of your Mac, your data, and your other apps. Even if an app is compromised by malicious software, sandboxing automatically blocks it to keep your computer and your information safe. OS X delivers sandboxing protection in Safari by sandboxing the built-in PDF viewer and plug-ins such as Adobe Flash Player, Silverlight, QuickTime, and Oracle Java. And OS X sandboxes apps like Mail, Messages, FaceTime, Calendar, Contacts, Photos, Notes, Reminders, Photo Booth, Quick Look previews, Game Center, Dictionary, Font Book, and the Mac App Store.
