Question about permission of folders and files

Hello,
I use Open Journal Systems version 2.4.7.1.

Is there documentation about the permissions of folders and files the system files?

Or, what folders or files do really need to be allowed to 777?

Tks

Hi @elias2,

See this FAQ entry. Note that 777 permissions are never safe to use and shouldn’t be required.

Other question:

I found it on a vulnerability site.
Just changing the permissions of folders and files would solve?

Hi @elias2,

That is an old vulnerability related to the third-party “ibrowser” TinyMCE plugin. That plugin was removed starting with OJS 2.3.7 and is not present in modern releases of the software.
