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 that folders exist within the private destination prior to writing to them. If the subfolder doesn't exist, the module places the file in a publicly accessible directory.
This vulnerability only affects sites with private files.
Install the latest version:
- If you use the file_entity module for Drupal 7, upgrade to file_entity 7.x-2.39 or newer.
