Using visudo to update /etc/sudoers: -- snip -- User_Alias APACHE = www-data Cmnd_Alias FOO = /path/to/script APACHE ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: FOO -- snip -- Replace www-data with httpd/apache/nobody as required. I think that'd work. YMMV. Personally, I'd think about this very carefully. Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
