The /application/config/config.php file contains a user name and password for your database server. This poses certain security issues, particularly if you are using a login that has high level administrative access to your database. In the event of some error returning the content of this PHP file to a user's browser, your database password and other details could be compromised (however, this is a very unlikely scenario). The best way to minimize risk is to set up a specific login that has specific rights only to your LimeSurvey database.
