Fixes https://github.com/NASA-PDS/doi-service/security/code-scanning/59
To fix the problem, we need to change the file permissions to be more restrictive, allowing only the owner to read and write the file. This can be achieved by modifying the
os.chmod
calls to set the file permissions to0o0600
, which grants read and write permissions only to the file owner.Specifically, we need to update the
os.chmod
calls on lines 173 and 184 to use0o0600
instead of0o0664
. This change ensures that the files are not world-readable and are only accessible by the owner.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
