AllowOverride All effectively allows a user who can create a .htaccess file
to access any file the Web server can read, and execute any code they would
like to as the Web server user.  From a security perspective it's equivalent
to giving the user a shell as the Web server user.  That may or may not be
consistent with your security objectives.

Hope this helps!
