@askgh Read the EncFS security audit. The known security issue related to the configuration file is that an adversary can disable the validation of MACs, allowing them to overwrite ciphertext without user knowledge. An adversary would not be able to read the decrypted data as the key is still protected by your password, but they could change (almost certainly randomly) the file contents without your knowledge.
