Description
CVE-2026-1556 is an information disclosure vulnerability in Drupal File (Field) Paths 7.x prior to version 7.1.3. It allows authenticated users to access other users' private files by exploiting filename-collision uploads. This vulnerability affects the file URI processing, causing certain consumers of hook_node_insert()—such as email attachment modules—to receive incorrect file URIs, thereby bypassing normal access controls on private files. The vulnerability has a medium severity with a CVSS score of 6.9.
