For now, (typical) WASM is indeed more secure than (typical) JVM or .NET bytecodes primarily because external operations with WASM are not yet popular. WASM in this regard has the benefit of decades' worth of hindsight that it can carve its own safe API for interoperation, but otherwise not technically superior or inferior. Given that the current web browser somehow continues to ship and keep such APIs, I think the future WASM with such APIs is also likely to remain safer, but that's by no means guaranteed.
