Summary

The File Force Download module for Drupal 7 versions 7.1.0 through 7.1.2 returned Content-Disposition headers without access checks for files outside the private scheme. An unauthenticated visitor could retrieve files in the temporary:// scheme or other stream wrappers by appending download=1 to the URL.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of temporary files or files served by other modules, bypassing access controls and potentially leaking sensitive data.

Recommendation

Update the File Force Download module to a version later than 7.1.2 or apply the fix, and until then restrict access to files in the temporary:// scheme and other wrappers.

Original NVD description (English source)

The File Force Download module for Drupal 7 implements hook_file_download() to add a Content-Disposition header when a file URL carries the download query parameter. In Drupal 7, returning a non-empty header array from that hook is itself a grant of access to the file. In versions 7.1.0 through 7.1.2, the module only delegated to other modules' hook_file_download() implementations when the file was in the private scheme. For every other scheme it returned its headers without any check. An unauthenticated visitor who appended download=1 to the URL of a file in the temporary:// scheme, or in a stream wrapper supplied by another module, could retrieve the file, overriding the access checks that would otherwise have applied. Files in the public and private schemes are not affected.
