Vulnerability discussion

Group-writable or world-writable user configuration files may enable malicious users to steal or modify other users' data or to gain another user's system privileges.

Check content

The root role is required. Ensure that the permissions on user "." files are 750 or less permissive.. # for dir in \ `logins -ox | awk -F: '($8 == "PS") { print $6 }'`; do find ${dir}/.[A-Za-z0-9]* \! -type l \ $ -perm -20 -o -perm -02 $ -ls done If output is produced, this is a finding.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
