SSH (and derivatives) Remote Code Execution
It is possible for a remote user to upload files to world-writeable directories, and execute commands from world-writeable directories. In doing so, a user may be able to upload a script, and execute the script to gain access to a regular shell on the system. This would allow the user unrestricted, but unprivileged access.
Mitigation:
Restrict access to world-writeable directories.
