Project: File Entity (fieldable files) [1]
Date: 2024-September-11
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 10 ∕ 25
AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
Vulnerability: Information Disclosure

Description: 
This module enables you to store and manage both private and public files,
provides the ability to add fieldable metadata for file_entity bundle types
in addition to core file_managed data.

The module doesn't sufficiently ensure private destination folders exist
prior to writing to them. If the folder doesn't exist, the module places the
file in a publicly accessible directory.

This vulnerability only affects sites with private files.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

   * If you use the file_entity module for Drupal 7, upgrade to file_entity
     7.x-2.39 [3] or newer.
