Project: Media Library Importer [1]
Date: 2026-September-02
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 11 ∕ 25
AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
Vulnerability: Access bypass

Affected versions: <2.1.6
CVE IDs: CVE-2026-81163
Description: 
A module to import media files into media library.

The import folder is a plain textfield with no validation. Point it at any
directory the web user can read, and the importer copies every file whose
extension matches a selected media type into the public files directory and
publishes it as a Media entity. Files that were deliberately kept outside the
webroot, such as a private file store, become downloadable by anonymous
visitors at a predictable URL.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

 * If you use the Media Library Importer module for Drupal upgrade to Media
   Library Importer 2.1.6 [3]

Coordinated By:

 * Greg Knaddison (greggles) [7] of the Drupal Security Team
