Drupal Answers Asked by glenviewjeff on December 28, 2020
I received the following error in my Drupal 8 status report:
PRIVATE FILES DIRECTORY Not fully protected See
https://www.drupal.org/SA-CORE-2013-003 for information about the
recommended .htaccess file which should be added to the private://
directory to help protect against arbitrary code execution.
The obsolete link provided shows no guidance for Drupal 8 or 9, only 7 and prior. I already have what I believe is a strict .htaccess file I’d found elsewhere in Drupal’s documentation. How can I fix this error in Drupal 8?
Submit the admin form @/admin/config/media/file-system will also create this .htaccess file if your folders are setup correct.

Per glbr, put the following in a .htaccess file in your private files directory.
# Deny all requests from Apache 2.4+.
<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
Require all denied
</IfModule>
# Deny all requests from Apache 2.0-2.2.
<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
Deny from all
</IfModule>
# Turn off all options we don't need.
Options -Indexes -ExecCGI -Includes -MultiViews
# Set the catch-all handler to prevent scripts from being executed.
SetHandler Drupal_Security_Do_Not_Remove_See_SA_2006_006
<Files *>
# Override the handler again if we're run later in the evaluation list.
SetHandler Drupal_Security_Do_Not_Remove_See_SA_2013_003
</Files>
# If we know how to do it safely, disable the PHP engine entirely.
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_flag engine off
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php7.c>
php_flag engine off
</IfModule>
