I don't know the specific details about the permissions it has. But the Wine FAQs themselves suggest that wine is not immune to malware or viruses as mentioned here -> https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Is_Wine_malware-compatible.3F
This is the case where an infected executable is run by Wine.
In the case of wannacry, the malware is deployed on a target machine over the network, by exploiting an smbv1 bug specific to windows.
However, if wannacry is manually installed and executed in Wine, then yes, it can affect you.
