Title
Incorrect permissions set by the “chmod“ and “makedirs“ Python functions in Splunk App for Lookup File Editing
Summary
In the Splunk App for Lookup File Editing versions below 4.0.5, a script in the app used the `chmod` and `makedirs` Python functions in a way that resulted in overly broad read and execute permissions. This could lead to improper access control for a low-privileged user.
