Since when does a hacked website gain root?

A web search on 'linux  web server exploits that gain root' will give many examples.

Security design by first principle assumes that an attacker will gain root access.

Best practise is to limit the damage that can cause. The usual way to limit it is put all public facing systems in a DMZ and have a very carefully controlled access from them to an internal priavte network. The access control is performed by systems that cannot be controlled by a breached public facing server. e.g. router firewalls,.
