   sequences in the lang parameter.

   A static code injection vulnerability in the translation module allows
   a remote authenticated user to execute arbitrary PHP code via the value
   parameter.

CVE-2007-5693
   An eval injection vulnerability in the translation module allows
   remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary PHP code via the
   edit parameter in an upd cmd action.

CVE-2007-5694
   A path traversal vulnerability in the translation module allows
   remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files via an absolute
   path in the 'dir' parameter.

CVE-2007-5695
   An error in command.php allows remote attackers to redirect users
   to arbitrary web sites via the forward parameter in a Log In action.

CVE-2007-5692
   Multiple cross site scripting flaws allow remote attackers to inject
   arbitrary script or HTML fragments into several scripts.
