CVE-2012-4495
The Mime Mail module 6.x-1.x before 6.x-1.1 for Drupal does not properly restrict access to files outside Drupal's publish files directory, which allows remote authenticated users to send arbitrary files as attachments.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.20%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
