Error - heroku "insecure world writable dir /var/psql_socket in PATH"

Question

Anytime I run things with my heroku app I am getting the following notice:

/Users/username/.heroku/client/lib/heroku/helpers.rb:103: warning: Insecure world writable dir /var/pgsql_socket in PATH, mode 040777

Everything seems to be working fine, but I want to make sure it isn't going to break.. What does this error/ announcement mean? And what do I need to do to fix it?

Using @PeeVee's answer, modifying it a bit and changing the file to the relevant one. I used:

sudo chmod o-w /var/pgsql_socket

and now it's working.
