Good question and welcome to SO! In this scenario I would move Wordpress away from your CakePHP library. Your CakePHP environment would become extreme vulnerable. Wordpress has some security flaws that will affect your CakePHP environment aswell when you keep it as a subfolder. File inclusion, SQL injection, cross-site scripting and malware often comes together with dirty plugins and themes.
