  • Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-071
  • Project: FileField? [1] (third-party module)
  • Version: 6.x
  • Date: 2014-July-16
  • Security risk: Critical [2]
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: Access bypass


The FileField? module enables you to define and use fields that contain files.

The module doesn't sufficiently check permission to view the attached file
when attaching a file that was previously uploaded. This could allow
attackers to gain access to private files.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the attacker must have
permission to create or edit content with a file field.



  • /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in

accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./



Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed FileField? [4]
module, there is nothing you need to do.



  • If you use the FileField? module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Filefield

6.x-3.13 [5], and also update to Drupal core 6.32 [6] (see
SA-CORE-2014-003 [7]).

  • Milestone set to Maintenance

Replying to paul:

This could allow attackers to gain access to private files.

I don't think we have any private files? However if there was a bot designed to exploit this bug and search for private files it wouldn't know this so.
