I've just purchased a license for Softaculous and tested a installation of SMF.
I know the standard SMF installation sets world writable permissions (or at least asks you to) on a couple of cache, log and upload folders in the root directory; however since cPanel comes default and also recommends using suphp and suexec, surely this isn't needed as the script would run as the owner and would have +w permissions anyway?
Would this not be a security risk have world writable folders?
