Since you appear to have control over the server I highly recommend that you
protect the CFAdmin folder using operating-system-level protection as well.

That way you'll still get errors in this case (it's okay to give errors when
somebody does something they're not supposed to) but you'll get a stronger
OS-level security on the folder.

You should also be able to mask the folder to specific IP addresses only
(many people restrict it to local console access only) and so forth.

Remember: the CF Admin is just a web application - you should protect it
like you would any other one with those kinds of capabilities.
