Fix Recommendation

Configure Ubuntu 22.04 LTS commands directories to be protected from unauthorized access. Run the following command:

$ sudo find /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin -perm /022 -type d -exec chmod -R 755 '{}' \;

Check Contents

$ find /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin -perm /022 -type d -exec stat -c "%n %a" '{}' \;

If any directories are found to be group-writable or world-writable, this is a finding.
