Follow-up Comment #1:

We use POSIX fopen(fname, "w"). The file permissions are masked by your umask
setting.

>From the man page of fopen:
       Any created file will have the mode S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | S_IRGRP |
S_IWGRP | S_IROTH | S_IWOTH (0666), as modi‐
       fied by the process's umask value (see umask(2)).

So if you are concerned about security, the umask is the first thing to check
and adjust.
