Impact
An attacker can induce unauthorized permission changes to root-owned files. Changing /etc/passwd from its normal readable mode to 0600 prevents ordinary processes from reading account information and can disrupt account lookup and dependent services. Other targets can lose necessary read or executable permissions. This is an integrity and availability issue, not demonstrated credential theft or code execution.
