I would personally highly recommend you add IP filtering and/or other
extra checks on top of htaccess in any case.

Right, I'm certainly not defending that code, and I expect it will get
promptly fixed. I just mean that I think the idea is that you should be
very paranoid about who gets access to it in any case.

I imagine further security reviewing of the BOINC code would be welcome. I
spent some time reviewing the non-ops code, for example the scheduler:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.distributed.boinc.user/3776
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.distributed.boinc.user/3741

And someone else found input parameter issues in the non-ops PHP code:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.distributed.boinc.user/3658

So there might well be other things to worry about too..
