Incorrect permissions

User unintentionally has access to restricted resources.

[ FAQ1 ]

What are incorrect permissions?

Incorrect permissions occur when files or directories have misconfigured read, write, or execute permissions, resulting in unintended access or inability to access resources appropriately. For example, overly permissive settings may allow unauthorized users to view or modify sensitive information, while overly restrictive permissions can block legitimate access, causing application errors or disruptions. In Linux and UNIX systems, incorrect permissions commonly arise from improper use of commands like chmod or misconfigured permission settings. These issues can cause security vulnerabilities, operational failures, or degraded user experiences.

How to fix incorrect permissions

To fix incorrect permissions, carefully review and correct file or directory permissions using commands like chmod or graphical file permission tools. Assign permissions based on the principle of least privilege—granting only the minimum level of access required for each file or resource. Regularly audit and verify permission settings, especially for critical resources, to maintain proper security standards. Automated scripts or configuration management tools can help maintain consistent permissions across environments, preventing inadvertent misconfigurations and ensuring secure, reliable system access.

logic: Parent folder handling is marked as TODO but not implemented. This could lead to incorrect permissions if alerts need parent folder context for authorization.
