There are no permissions on FAT32 (a.k.a., vfat) tied to Android. Any
file written there by applications is visible when you use the card

This is a "security hole" only in the hands of foolish developers who
put secure data in an insecure medium, just as Facebook is a "security
hole" for anyone who publishes their list of personal passwords on their
Facebook page for all to see.
