      "value": "The recursive mode (-R) of the chmod utility in uutils coreutils incorrectly handles exit codes when processing multiple files. The final return value is determined solely by the success or failure of the last file processed. This allows the command to return an exit code of 0 (success) even if errors were encountered on previous files, such as 'Operation not permitted'. Scripts relying on these exit codes may proceed under a false sense of success while sensitive files remain with restrictive or incorrect permissions."

      "value": "El modo recursivo (-R) de la utilidad chmod en uutils coreutils maneja incorrectamente los códigos de salida al procesar múltiples archivos. El valor de retorno final se determina únicamente por el éxito o fracaso del último archivo procesado. Esto permite que el comando devuelva un código de salida de 0 (éxito) incluso si se encontraron errores en archivos anteriores, como ’Operación no permitida’. Los scripts que dependen de estos códigos de salida pueden continuar bajo una falsa sensación de éxito mientras archivos sensibles permanecen con permisos restrictivos o incorrectos."
