Does this mean the app will need to run as root while the user is playing?

No but the cheat software will run in the kernel. Which is > than root.

In all likelihood – unless these guys are uncharacteristically careful – it will stay there even when you are not playing and become an attack vector.

Might it be an attack vector even while the game is playing?
