The permission problem is for users with shell access to the server. 
Just fix it by assigning a correct user/group and removing others rights.
And for the much worrying problem which allows direct access to the 
user's file with HTTP without any authentication you have to drop a 
.htaccess file in the data directory denying all access. I think this 
should be mentioned as fast as possible in the readme file.
