Verify the ownership and permissions of the policy file and the path leading up to it. This feature is enabled by default.
Disallow path separators in module names. This feature is disabled by default. Enabling it prevents the use of modules in non-standard locations.
Verify the ownership and permissions of each loadable module and the path leading up to it. This feature is enabled by default.
