Edit: the bitcoin interface should also have a password before you can confirm the payment. Otherwise you could scan for port 8330 being open on anybody and then automatically have it send payments.

That’s not exactly true. At the moment, Bitcoin only binds RPC to the loopback interface, 127.0.0.1. I would assume that this web interface would be the same. However, there SHOULD be a password to prevent trojans from trivially sending your wallet away. Wallet encryption needs to happen, too.
