Hello All
 
I have previously installed rt4 files in /var/www/rt4 (by setting the $PREFIX) but my concern is that this creates a security risk.

Can you detail that concern? Not saying it's wrong, I just don't see anything particularly risky. It's not the way I deploy RT, but I don't see a clear risk in it...
  
The gist of my questions are what is the minimum set of files required in the web server document root?

Zero.

I've been running RT versions since v2 from subdirectories of /opt/ (i.e. the default layout) on various versions of FreeBSD and Linux and never had a need to point a server-wide document root there. I've not put a 4.x on CentOS7 instance into production yet, but I have an extended demo instance of RT4.4rc1 on CentOS7 system running, being lightly exercised and tweaked for a prospective customer for months now with no problems related to filesystem location, entirely in /opt/rt4/.
