CVE-2014-5020

First published: Tue Jul 22 2014(Updated: )

The File module in Drupal 7.x before 7.29 does not properly check permissions to view files, which allows remote authenticated users with certain permissions to bypass intended restrictions and read files by attaching the file to content with a file field.
