Zope is basically like PHP for this sense. Squishdot is an application
built on top of zope like php-nuke (and others) are built on top of
php/mysql .

I hope that squishdot's installation instructions don't include a
recommendation to 'chmod -R 777' a large portion of the installation tree.
This was in php-nuke's insstallation instruction last time I looked, and
maybe it is part of a general attitude of "whose gonna try to break into
our site? whose gonna guess that we have *this* specific hole? it won't be
the end of the world if it gonna take us a couple of monthes to fix it".

That is not to say that other weblogs are like that (maybe some of them
are...)
