## What is CVE-2025-49130?

CVE-2025-49130 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in barryvdh laravel-translation-manager, published on 9 Jun 2025. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

Laravel Translation Manager is a package to manage Laravel translation files. Prior to version 0.6.8, the application is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks due to incorrect input validation and sanitization of user-input data. An attacker can inject arbitrary HTML code, including JavaScript scripts, into the page processed by the user's browser, allowing them to steal sensitive data, hijack user sessions, or conduct other malicious activities. Only authenticated users with access to the translation manager are impacted. The issue is fixed in version 0.6.8.

Weakness: CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation)
