Description:
Maarten Verbeek has reported a vulnerability in Blackboard, which can be exploited by malicious users to download other users' files in their dropbox.

The problem is that files in dropboxes are stored insecurely on the server in predictable locations.

Successful exploitation requires that a valid file name is known or can be guessed.
