ID: python-security/file-write-others
Language: Python
Severity: Warning
Category: Security
CWE: 280
Description
Make sure that programs do not let write permissions for all users. When using os.chmod
, the user should never use S_IWOTH
that gives the permission to all users to write the file on the filesystem.
Instead, this permission should be removed, and proper control access should be configured.
See the following related CWE:
- CWE-275 category - Permission Issues
- CWE-280 - Improper Handling of Insufficient Permissions or Privileges
Non-Compliant Code Examples
import stat
path = "/path/to/file"
os.chmod(path, stat.S_IROTH | stat.S_IWOTH | stat.S_IXOTH)
Compliant Code Examples
import stat
path = "/path/to/file"
os.chmod(path, stat.S_IROTH | stat.S_IWOTH | stat.S_IXOTH) # skipping because it's in a test file
import stat
path = "/path/to/file"
os.chmod(path, stat.S_IROTH | stat.S_IXOTH) # no write by others
