chmod 777: Everything for everyone. This command will give read, write and execute permission to the owner, group and public. chmod 777 is considered potentially dangerous because you are giving read, write and execute permission on a file/directory to everyone (who is on your system). You should totally avoid it.
One - if there's a permission issue, 0777 will expose it. It will also confirm it's not a permission issue with a file or directory if the problem doesn't go away. Typically, if there's a permission issue, one would then go chase down the cause and fix that. In the end, it can be put back to original (or at least to something less permissive than 0777 that still works (In my case for example, an update to my server caused attachments to suddenly fail posting. I changed the permissions on the attachment directory from 0755 to 0777 and voilla!
Two - unless someone has access to the server file system, they're not going to be able to do anything regardless of the permissions settings, and if they do have access to the file system, depending on their status or group they may also be able to change the permissions on a file or directory anyway, right?
(In my case, since the only ones who have access to my file system are me and my host, I just left that folder as 0777.
In this case, I suspect you're right about the token or cookie, although "being nothing" isn't entirely accurate since Radu81 said "I am not able to make any edits on Add-on settings pages.."
