What is GHSA-3fvf-2gp4-89wq?
GHSA-3fvf-2gp4-89wq is a path traversal vulnerability in barryvdh/laravel-translation-manager, published on 18 Mar 2022. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Impact
Laravel Translation Manager didn't check the locale name, which allowed directory traversal when exporting files. The content would be a PHP file returning an array of translations, but this could lead to unexpected results, like denial of service. Access to the Laravel Translation Manager is required, because a new locale would have to be added and published.
Patches
Version 0.6.2 fixes this issue.
Workarounds
Only allow trusted admins to publish/edit translations.
