Ensure All World-Writable Directories Are Group Owned by a System Account
Medium Severity
All directories in local partitions which are world-writable should be group owned by root or another system account. If any world-writable directories are not group owned by a system account, this should be investigated. Following this, the files should be deleted or assigned to an appropriate group.
