What the vulnerability does
01Description
Information disclosure in the file URI processing of File (Field) Paths in Drupal File (Field) Paths 7.x prior to 7.1.3 on Drupal 7.x allows authenticated users to disclose other users’ private files via filename‑collision uploads. This can cause hook_node_insert() consumers (for example, email attachment modules) to receive the wrong file URI, bypassing normal access controls on private files.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms

An attacker can discover the server's directory structure and file locations without logging in, potentially aiding reconnaissance for further attacks. Update to version 7.x-1.3 or later to restrict this information.
