Hello,

I went to http://www.kingefi.com/catalog/ (fuel injection controllers)
The message below was displayed at the top of the page.


Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file:
/data/10/1/96/69/1096884/user/1146691/htdocs/catalog/includes/configure.php.
This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on
this file.

Should I take this seriously?

The web site owner probably has an error in his configuration of the
osCommerce canned web store package.

No. It is not a threat (except to the owner of the site). I left a
message on the 'contact us' form pointing it out. Go ahead and shop if
you wish.

Says exactly the same thing when I visit too,
if I choose to accept the security certificate from Network Solutions.
Of course, closing my browser clears any such residue
and it doesn't appear to pose any threat or risk to my system.
