Some sites may require configuration changes following this security release. Review the release notes for your Drupal version if you have issues accessing private files after updating. This advisory **is** covered by [Drupal Steward](/steward). Because this vulnerability is not mass exploitable, your Steward partner may respond by monitoring-only, rather than enforcing a new WAF rule. We would normally not apply for a release of this severity. However, in this case we have chosen to apply Drupal Steward security coverage to test our processes. #### Drupal 7 * All Drupal 7 sites on Windows web servers are vulnerable. * Drupal 7 sites on Linux web servers are vulnerable with certain file directory structures, or if a vulnerable contributed or custom file access module is installed. #### Drupal 9 and 10 Drupal 9 and 10 sites are only vulnerable if certain contributed or custom file access modules are installed.
