Possibility for Denial of Service by overwriting PHP files with language exports

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.
