Web Security Issue : CHMOD

Post by denisw »

Hi,

Could someone advise if it is okay to chmod 777 web folder ?

i have a wordpress based website, with some plugin & widget installed. Few of them require me to chmod 777 on particular folder, to enable visitors upload image.

I'm worried if this could create security hole in my website. What is the worst havoc that hackers possibly produce on my website ?

Would appreciate your advice.

Thanks.
