Clientupdate is never enabled by default!
As long as no "clientversion:" are defined in the file client-local.cfg on
xymon server, clientupdate makes nothing.
If that's a server-side setting, it doesn't change the security
concerns on the client side at all.

Possible additional settings for client-side enhanced security:

in /etc/default/xymon-client:
# Updating an existing client installation from a central repository of client packages stored on the Xymon server.
# Not enabled by default.
# Change to "yes" to enable.
CLIENTUPDATE_ENABLE=no

in xymonclient.sh:
if test "$LOCALMODE" != "yes" -a -f $LOGFETCHCFG -a "$CLIENTUPDATE_ENABLE" = "yes"; then
    # Check for client updates
...
