libFoundation contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized password exposure. The problem is that the 'Defaults write' command sets insecure permissions to the 'NSGlobalDomain.plist' file, which may allow a malicious user to gain access to plain text passwords resulting in a loss of confidentiality.
