I don't think this is by passing any permissions system. My understanding of how the new permissions system works is that dragging a file into an app grants access to that file. You drag an image into a Microsoft Word, and permissions is granted to access that file so it can insert it into the document. I think that's just what's happening.

This situation is different because a SIP protected file attribute is set on the dragged file. There is no UI to manage this behavior and it persists forever, unless SIP is disabled. As other commentators have noted, it reeks of last-minute-workaround to close what would otherwise be a high priority UI bug for the permissions dialogs.
