I think the concern is that a MitM may intercept the connection and
add some PHP code that will then be evaluated as the Webserver user on
the server, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code on the
 server hosting the mirror, enabling access to local-only resources
like a MySQL server only accepting connections from localhost.
