Yes, but your can also read theses files if you have an account on
sourceforge.net (and it's easy to get one), so that's not a very big
vulnerability. And the vulnerability does not come from sourceforge,
but from the "Smart BootManager" project's webpage hosted on sourceforge.
Anyway, it might be a good idea for them to correct this :)

It could allow someone with an account on sourceforge to put some files
on it and include them on their website to have fake pages for example.
