The FileField Sources module 6.x-1.x before 6.x-1.9 and 7.x-1.x before 7.x-1.9 for Drupal does not properly check file permissions, which allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files by attaching a file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects the Drupal FileField Sources module. An authenticated user could attach a file in a way that bypasses file permission checks and reads files they should not access. The source bundle does not provide a CVSS score or evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on legacy Drupal 6 or Drupal 7 sites using FileField Sources versions earlier than 1.9, especially where untrusted or lower-privileged authenticated users can attach files. Treat this as a targeted legacy Drupal risk. Prioritize remediation where authenticated user registration, partner access, or customer accounts exist, because sensitive local files could be exposed. Mitigation focus: Inventory Drupal sites for the FileField Sources module and installed version.; Upgrade FileField Sources 6.x-1.x or 7.x-1.x to 1.9 or later.; Review Drupal advisory pages for version-specific guidance before deployment..
