Well...

You don't need 777 if it's actually owned by the web server user, then you can
use 755 or such.

But on typical shared hosting that may still leave you open to other users.

Frankly this is a security problem with many shared hosting environments that's
just something you have to live with; unless you can reconfigure to running
your web scripts under your own user account.

A more 'secure' method might be to store files in database but this isn't done
yet (and of course, any other web user on the machine can probably get your
database usernamd and password out of your config files so... that might not be
any more secure.)
