All AlmaLinux OS 9 local initialization files must have mode 0740 or less permissive.
Medium Severity
Local initialization files are used to configure the user's shell environment upon logon. Malicious modification of these files could compromise accounts upon logon. World-readable "dot files" such as .bash_history or .netrc can reveal plaintext credentials, such files should be further protected (e.g., 0600).
