No I meant full access to just obe of guest partitions. E.g. FTP may be using separate partition and non-admins may have control over it. If system has some kind of automatic user creation and /home is separate someone may register as boot or grub and put grub.xen in his directory. If /tmp is on separate partition and not in RAM then everybody can put grub.xen to /tmp/grub/grub.xen

Only in the domU context, though. If a user has full access to a guest
filesystem then of course they can run code in the domU. This seems
unsurprising and not a problem?
