48.2.5.5. Restrict Permissions for Executable Directories

Ensure that only the root user has write permissions to any directory containing scripts or CGIs. To do this, type the following commands:
chown root <directory_name>
chmod 755 <directory_name>

Important

Always verify that any scripts running on the system work as intended before putting them into production.
