That is known. Packages that do not include the PHP headers from pfSense
in such pages are not protected by the auth. Bits in the base system are
protected of course.

Also non-PHP items like images, icons, etc, are also accessible.

It's always been that way. There is a ticket, I believe, to improve such
handling in lighttpd to protect certain package directories with basic
http auth but as far as I know, nobody has done any real work in that
area on making it work in a general way for all packages to use.

Another similar item of note is that packages don't currently hook into
the privilege system so you can't really specify a user to have access
to just one package.
