Is that the case, though? My understanding was, that even if I run a docker container as root and the container is 100% compromised, there still would need to be a vulnerability in docker for it to “attack” the host, or am I missing something?

There would be, but a lot of docker containers are misconfigured or unnecessarily privileged, allowing for escape.

Also, if you've been compromised, you may have a rootkit that hides itself from the filesystem, so you can't be sure of a file's existence through a simple `ls` or `stat`.
