The default setup of WebSVN, done along the instruction in
install.txt leaves a
serious security hole:

All the *.inc files that reside in the include/ directory
aren't protected from
viewing. In default Apache+PHP configurations, those files
are simply served as
text/plain.

So any user can navigate to e.g. https://
servername/websvn/include/config.inc
and read the configuration directives, including repository
definitions, which
can contain plain text passwords if remote repositories are
configured!
