Put simply

Think of it as a delivery person who can sneak a peek inside your locked storage room simply by using the right set of instructions. If they know how to ask, they can access files that should remain hidden away! This vulnerability arises from the 'getLanguageFromBrowser' functionality not properly validating user inputs, allowing specially crafted HTTP requests to include local files and execute code.

What to do
