# `non-standard-setuid-executable-perm`

The file is setuid or setgid and has a mode different from any of 2755, 4755, 4754, or 6755. Any other permissions on setuid executables is probably a bug. In particular, removing root write privileges serves no purpose, group-writable setuid or setgid executables are probably bad ideas, and setgid executables that are not world-executable serve little purpose.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
