Excessive permissions granted when creating a directory. This warning is triggered whenever permission greater than 0750 is given.

In general, all security rules follow the principle of least privilege, except when the created directory needs to be accessed by anyone other than the user creating it.

Bad practice

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "os"
)

func main() {
    err := os.Mkdir("/tmp/mydir", 0777)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Error when creating a directory!")
        return
    }
}

Recommended

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "os"
)

func main() {
    err := os.Mkdir("/tmp/mydir", 0600)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Error when creating a directory!")
        return
    }
}
