What are the control mechanisms that prevent (which?) runaway process?

  It's just a protein. It evolved in bacteria and archaea to operate in those cells. There's no mechanism for it to exit the cell, or replicate, or evolve, or anything you'd need to get it to from one organism to another on its own. I am glossing over the concept of gene drives, which is potentially worrisome, but as far as accidents go the risk is literally zero.
