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
