Can this happen within Sandboxie?

Referring to:

"That's possible with a new security tool called Jikto. The tool is written in JavaScript and can make PCs of unknowing Web surfers hunt for flaws in Web sites, said Jikto creator Billy Hoffman, a researcher at Web security firm SPI Dynamics. Hoffman, who developed the tool as a way to advance Web security, plans to release Jikto publicly later this week at the ShmooCon hacker event in Washington, D.C.

"This is going to drastically change the scope of evil things you can do with JavaScript," Hoffman said. "Jikto turns any PC into my little drone. Your PC will start attacking Web sites on my behalf, and you're going to give me all the results."

It seems it runs too stealth to be detected.

Sandboxie doesn't "detect" malware, it makes it operate only in a restricted area on your system, so that it won't be able to infect the system in an irreversible way. And can terminate the malware or deny it from reading from certain directories. But apart from this, executables (unless they try to drop drivers) can still do whatever they're set to do so if you run a malware that sends spam, the malware sends spam. And Javascript even runs within the browser, so I'm not sure how you would plan to stop this anyway.
