From the README of libapache2-mod-auth-pam package for Debian:
SECURITY
To use with standard Debian configuration you have to add "www-data"
user to "shadow" group. Be careful! It means it can be readable by
anyone who can run its own CGI script!
The passwords are sent by net as clear text. You should use SSL to
protect them.
You'll have to be more paranoid. Therefore, you might consider PAM-Auth
a Bad Idea.
