The author obviously doesn't care about security.

He's not, and he makes it perfectly clear in the installation

"3) In order to use the File Manager, please be sure to chmod 666 ALL
files and 777 ALL directories.

4) Also, to activate Headlines you "need" to chmod 777 the "cache"
directory, otherwise headlines won't work."

It's a nice piece of software, otherwise.  Just have to be careful about
