I have an unlimited cPanel shared hosting account, which I stopped using since I moved on to VPS. I can still access the account, and kept the files undeleted as a backup. Since I have addons enabled, I though I can allow some other people to host their sites on my account (yes, I can run a shared hosting service using my VPS, but I try to keep it isolated and lightweight).
But the problem is, when I tried to access the cPanel of one of my existing addon domains, I was able to access the document root of my main site. This means if I setup an addon domain for somebody else, they might be able to access the main root also. How to prevent this from happening?

Yes, that is how cPanel's Addon domains work. They are simply additional (ie. "add-on") domains on the main account. You can't restrict access.
In order to restrict access, you would need to create another "account". eg. As a "reseller".
