When starting metasploit and after any command I was getting this error repeat 12 times:
/metasploit/lib/active_support/core_ext/kernal/agnostics.rb:7: warning: Insecure world writable dir /vendor in PATH, mode 040777
I tried changing the permissions on the vendor folder (and all sub folders/files) which changed nothing.
then I did the same on the entire metasploit directory (still nothing)
I then commented out the code of agnostics.rb (which is just some error displaying code - weird and misleading)
which gave the following errors:
/metasploit/lib/readline.rb:1835: warning: Insecure world writeable dir /vendor in PATH, mode 040777

I found the lines, hoping to discover the error or possibly find a way to supress them in readline.rb
1835: `infocmp -C`.split(':').select{|x| x =~ /(.*)=(.*)/ and hash[$1]=$2.gsub('\\E',"\e").gsub(/\^(.)/){($1[0].ord ^ ((?a..?z).include?($1[0]) ? 0x60 : 0x40)).chr}}
1919: `infocmp -C -r`.scan(/\w{2}/).include?(name)
1889: wr,wc = `stty size`.split(' ').map{|x| x.to_i}
2082: h = Hash[*`stty -a`.scan(/(\w+) = ([^;]+);/).flatten]
6889: @_rl_tty_chars.t_eol2 = h['eol2']
6907: def prepare_terminal_settings(meta_flag)
6918: setting << " pass8"
6927: *blank*
6938: *blank*
I am still just as clueless as before.
metasploit is installed and running as root - as is _everything_ in my environment.
does anyone know of a way to supress these errors - it would be greatly appreciated
