>
> mesos-master has a `--[no-]root_submissions` flag that controls whether
> frameworks with `root` user are admitted to the cluster.
> However, if a mesos-master node is compromised, it can attempt to schedule
> tasks on agent as the `root` user. Since mesos-agent has no check against
> tasks running on the agent for specific users, tasks can get run with `root`
> privileges can get run within the container on the agent.
