It states that it’s somehow breaking the permissions sandbox by dynamically recompiling code after the app is opened. Unless there is some undisclosed exploit that it’s using to break the sandbox, it’s outside most people’s understanding of how these platforms work

It only explains how it would pass (automatic) reviews. Not how it would bypass the sandbox. So yeah, you're right, not enough info sadly.
