# Description About the Product :
*******************************
CMSMadeSimple Babel Modules - This handles multiple languages for frontend. 

It uses Marcos Cruz's separate tree branches method, with a simpler setup, more freedom and some

added functionalities (such as language links based on hierarchy, automatic language detection 

and a translation system much like that of the core).

# Impact :
*********
CMSMadeSimple Software Babel Modules 0.3.x/0.4.x accepts a user-controlled input that specifies a 

link to an external site, and uses that link in a Redirect. This simplifies phishing attacks. An http parameter may 

contain a URL value and could cause the web application to redirect the request to the specified URL. 

By modifying the URL value to a malicious site, an attacker may successfully launch a phishing scam and

steal user credentials. Because the server name in the modified link is identical to the original site, phishing attempts 

have a more trustworthy appearance. Open redirect is a failure in that process that makes it possible for attackers to 

steer users to malicious websites. This vulnerability is used in phishing attacks to get users to visit malicious sites 

without realizing it. Web users often encounter redirection when they visit the Web site of a company whose name 

has been changed or which has been acquired by another company. Visiting unreal web page user's computer 

becomes affected by malware the task of which is to deceive the valid actor and steal his personal data.
