Description

SecureFileStore (prev. SecureImages) solves a general security vulnerability of MediaWikis.

Usage / Features

Up to now pictures and documents could be found with search engines like google, even then the wiki-sites were protected by user permissions.

Especially in a business environment it is important that uploaded data is only accessible for authorized users. Pictures and documents should be visible for registered users.
