A Debian bug report [1] indicated that uzbl would create the cookies storage file with world readable permissions. This could allow other local users to steal cookies if the user had non-default permissions on their home directory (by default, home directories are mode 0700 but may be 0755 in some cases, like for Apache user directories). ls -ld ~/.local/{,share/{,uzbl/{,cookies.txt}}} drwxr-xr-x 3 user users 4096 Feb 9 23:29 /home/user/.local/ drwxr-xr-x 4 user users 4096 Feb 9 23:29 /home/user/.local/share/ drwxr-xr-x 2 user users 4096 Feb 9 23:29 /home/user/.local/share/uzbl/ -rw-rw-rw- 1 user users 732 Feb 9 23:29 /home/user/.local/share/uzbl/cookies.txt [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=659379
