Indexable User Content (Attachments) on Google

      NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      User content uploaded onto answers.atlassian.com is indexable by Google due to the lack of appropriate indexing rules such as those in /robots.txt.

      Additionally, such content being indexed can be removed from Google by consulting Google's Webmaster tools.

      An example of indexable content is below:

      Search Query: site:https://answers.atlassian.com/upfiles + password
      Image of results:

      The security risk of this is quite low, however, if sensitive files do lie in /upfiles, they have been indexed by Google and will be easier to find by attackers.
