Using "world-writable" (777 or 666) permissions

You do not need to use world-writable permissions on our servers. The 666 and 777 permissions are insecure as they allow other users on the server to change them.

Permissions like 755 or 775 are sufficient for all applications as our servers are configured to run scripts as your own username (not as the web server), so you never need to give world-writable rights to your files and directories.
