RHEL-10-400500 - RHEL 10 must prohibit local initialization files from executing world-writable programs.
Information
If user startup files execute world-writable programs, especially in unprotected directories, they could be maliciously modified to destroy user files or otherwise compromise the system at the user level. If the system is compromised at the user level, it is easier to elevate privileges to eventually compromise the system at the root and network level.Solution
Configure RHEL 10 so that local initialization files do not execute world-writable programs with the following command:$ sudo chmod 0755 <file>
