A security question about chmod 777
« on: July 12, 2006, 01:38:24 AM »
Hello.

In the installation manual you wrote that:

et permissions for the following directories:

     chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) : data
     chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) : data/database
     chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) : data/media
     chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) : data/thumbnails
     chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) : data/tmp_media
     chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) : data/tmp_thumbnails
     chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) : templates
     chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) : templates/default
     chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) : templates/default/media
 
isn't it unsafe to have these chmod? Isn't it easy for a hacker to upload a script to these catalogs and hack the site by it?

I'm just worried about this.
