-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
The Views Language Switcher module enables you to provide natively-formatted links that act as Views exposed filters for i18n content being displayed by Views. The module doesn't sufficiently filter the path output when a user manually modifies the path and makes a new request. This vulnerability can be exploited by anonymous users.

* Views Language Switcher 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.2.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Views Language Switcher [3] module, there is nothing you need to do.
