    Description

      FileSystem.copyToLocal ends up calling through to FileUtil.copy, which calls create() on the target file system without passing any permission object. Therefore, the file ends up getting created locally with 777 permissions, which is dangerous – even if the caller then fixes up permissions afterwards, it exposes a window in which an attacker can open the file.
