Found this a little while back:  Bozo will expose .htpasswd files.

Test Case:
printf 'user:'`pwhash pass`'\n' >/var/www/.htpasswd
Point your browser to http://host/.htpasswd
Enter 'user' for the username and 'pass' for the password
You should then see the contents of the .htpasswd file

I don't see any code preventing the exposure of the file

I believe this file should be "forbidden" (whatever the error code is
(403?)).

It looks to me like the fix should go somewhere around
bozo_process_request, but I'm still digging...
