Assuming the default options for the directories are defined by

<Directory "/path">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
</Directory>

When using the directive

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/path/cgi-bin/"

... is it required (or advisable or unsecure, etc) to also specify the option ExecCGI? e.g.

<Directory "/path/cgi-bin">
    Options ExecCGI
</Directory>

I think it is necessary, because your allowing the Execution of CGI (hence ExecCGI). Its not unsecure, but default way of enabling CGI script execution in the said directory.
