Then it's an intended warning.

It's considered dangerous to include a world-writable directory or its descendent directory in PATH.
Why is the system-wide directory world-writable?

i have no idea, what should it be?

Remove write-bits:
sudo chmod go-w /usr/local
or make it sticky:
sudo chmod +t /usr/local
