Permission Report
Upload a file listing that includes permission modes (like 644 or rwxr-xr-x) to flag world-writable files and other risky patterns.
How to use Permission Report
- Start by providing the required input: Drop a CSV with a permission/mode column. Use Load Sample to try example data first.
- No additional settings need to be configured.
- This tool has no separate run button; its results update as you add or change the input.
- Review the result or preview on the page and confirm it matches your input before using or sharing it.
Finding the one world-writable file in a thousand
A permissions audit export is usually a long, flat list that nobody reviews line by line — exactly the kind of data where a genuinely risky setting (a world-writable config file, a fully-open 777 permission) hides in plain sight until something exploits it. Flagging risky patterns automatically turns a tedious manual review into an instant check.
What makes a permission setting worth flagging
World-writable files (anyone can modify them), fully open 777 permissions, and world-executable permissions on files that aren't scripts are the classic red flags this checks for — the same patterns a security audit would manually look for, applied automatically across your whole list.
What format does my permission column need to be in?
Either numeric (like 644, 755) or symbolic (like rwxr-xr-x) — both are recognized and converted automatically for the analysis.
Does this change any real file permissions?
No — it only analyzes a CSV listing you provide; it has no access to any actual filesystem or ability to change permissions.
Want to calculate or generate chmod commands instead?
Use the Permission Calculator, which builds permission values visually and generates ready-to-run chmod scripts.
