           Summary: Files downloadable w/o auth
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.14.0rc1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Images
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: paul.marc...@verizon.net


I have mediawiki setup with SecurID authentication.  Everything appeared to
work fine until the other day when someone sent the file location on the server
instead of the URL of the page the file could be downloaded from.  No
authentication was needed and the file could be downloaded.

To try to make it clearer.  Normally to download a file from the wiki I would
send the following - a link to the page the file was on:

https://myserver.com/info/Prototype_Monthly_Vuln

And say to download the appropriate file from the page.  No problem. 
Authetication was needed.

If instead I send a link to the file:


https://myserver.com/myserver/images/5/5a/filetodownload.fs.2009-01-22.csv

A person just has to click on the link and the file will download, no
authentication needed.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
