They could still delete your player preferences or crash your
SlimServer.

So far no one's been able to do this, but as outlined in this thread,
SlimServer wasn't designed for security and if someone really works on
it, they will probably find holes that allow for buffer overflows and
execution of arbitrary code outside of SlimServer.

It's best to use some kind of protection.  The password protection
you've set is better than nothing.
