CWE-281 : Improper Preservation of Permissions
The product does not preserve permissions or incorrectly preserves permissions when copying, restoring, or sharing objects, which can cause them to have less restrictive permissions than intended. This is resultant from errors that prevent the permissions from being preserved. Incorrect ACLs used when restoring backups from directories that use symbolic links. Automatic modification of permissions inherited from another file system. Permissions on backup file are created with defaults, possibly less secure than original file. File is made world-readable when being cloned.
