You should have IP access turned on for NATS and IP restriction on your myphpadmin install.
The presence of Eval is due to using Smarty templates. Most of the hacking incidents we've seen in the past 6 years have occurred when someone's servers were wide open and no IP restriction was in place - or when a large number of people from an organization had access to a server and/or admin panels using the same login credentials.

IP restricting access on multiple levels including access to software admin panels is something everyone should be doing.
