When you say authentication, do you mean the cloud engine doesn't authenticate against your email providers, or that the desktop client doesn't authenticate against the cloud engine?

I mean that there is no password between desktop client and the open source cloud engine – anyone can log in to it just like that.

The tokens to auth are world-readable under /accounts or /n

Or like any firewall, Nginx config, VPN, etc. Everyone picks a different way to do it, so it's not included in the default sync engine.
