I have see the source code of vesta and I have doubt relation to user admin:admin and all privileges that this user has in ubuntu.

Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

So in case the Web server process gets hijacked through some vulnerability, they can have privileges like root with user admin, does vesta have another security mechanism to avoid this ?

Fail2Ban as brute force detection, also you should not host any websites under admin user. Also the templates have open_basedir restrictions active, so I think we can say vesta is save.
