Private-file disclosure via improper request validation
Published Jul 21, 2025 · Updated Jul 22, 2025
Missing authorization in Drupal File Download before 1.9.0 and 2.0.0 allows remote attackers to access private files. The file-access request handler accepts attacker-controlled input without properly validating it against the target private-file protections; Drupal has not published the affected function or branch. No account or user interaction is required, and the documented consequence is unauthorized file disclosure without modification or service interruption.
