CVE-2024-49760	Oct 24, 2024	OpenRefine <3.8.3: LFR in load-language (translations-XX.json) OpenRefine is a free, open source tool for working with messy data. The load-language command expects a `lang` parameter from which it constructs the path of the localization file to load, of the form `translations-$LANG.json`. But when doing so in versions prior to 3.8.3, it does not check that the resulting path is in the expected directory, which means that this command could be exploited to read other JSON files on the file system. Version 3.8.3 addresses this issue.	Openrefine
CVE-2024-47882	Oct 24, 2024	OpenRefine <3.8.3: Error page XSS via unescaped exception message OpenRefine is a free, open source tool for working with messy data. Prior to version 3.8.3, the built-in "Something went wrong!" error page includes the exception message and exception traceback without escaping HTML tags, enabling injection into the page if an attacker can reliably produce an error with an attacker-influenced message. It appears that the only way to reach this code in OpenRefine itself is for an attacker to somehow convince a victim to import a malicious file, which may be difficult. However, out-of-tree extensions may add their own calls to `respondWithErrorPage`. Version 3.8.3 has a fix for this issue.	Openrefine
CVE-2024-47881	Oct 24, 2024	OpenRefine 3.4-beta-3.8.3: SQLite DLL Load Remote Code Exec OpenRefine is a free, open source tool for working with messy data. Starting in version 3.4-beta and prior to version 3.8.3, in the `database` extension, the "enable_load_extension" property can be set for the SQLite integration, enabling an attacker to load (local or remote) extension DLLs and so run arbitrary code on the server. The attacker needs to have network access to the OpenRefine instance. Version 3.8.3 fixes this issue.	Openrefine
CVE-2024-47883	Oct 24, 2024	MIT Simile Butterfly <1.2.6: LFI, SSRF, RCE via file: URL The OpenRefine fork of the MIT Simile Butterfly server is a modular web application framework. The Butterfly framework uses the `java.net.URL` class to refer to (what are expected to be) local resource files, like images or templates. This works: "opening a connection" to these URLs opens the local file. However, prior to version 1.2.6, if a `file:/` URL is directly given where a relative path (resource name) is expected, this is also accepted in some code paths; the app then fetches the file, from a remote machine if indicated, and uses it as if it was a trusted part of the app's codebase. This leads to multiple weaknesses and potential weaknesses. An attacker that has network access to the application could use it to gain access to files, either on the the server's filesystem (path traversal) or shared by nearby machines (server-side request forgery with e.g. SMB). An attacker that can lead or redirect a user to a crafted URL belonging to the app could cause arbitrary attacker-controlled JavaScript to be loaded in the victim's browser (cross-site scripting). If an app is written in such a way that an attacker can influence the resource name used for a template, that attacker could cause the app to fetch and execute an attacker-controlled template (remote code execution). Version 1.2.6 contains a patch.	Butterfly
CVE-2024-47880	Oct 24, 2024	OpenRefine 3.8.3- Reflected XSS via export-rows OpenRefine is a free, open source tool for working with messy data. Prior to version 3.8.3, the `export-rows` command can be used in such a way that it reflects part of the request verbatim, with a Content-Type header also taken from the request. An attacker could lead a user to a malicious page that submits a form POST that contains embedded JavaScript code. This code would then be included in the response, along with an attacker-controlled `Content-Type` header, and so potentially executed in the victim's browser as if it was part of OpenRefine. The attacker-provided code can do anything the user can do, including deleting projects, retrieving database passwords, or executing arbitrary Jython or Closure expressions, if those extensions are also present. The attacker must know a valid project ID of a project that contains at least one row. Version 3.8.3 fixes the issue.	Openrefine
CVE-2024-47878	Oct 24, 2024	OpenRefine < 3.8.3 Reflected XSS via /extension/gdata/authorized state param OpenRefine is a free, open source tool for working with messy data. Prior to version 3.8.3, the `/extension/gdata/authorized` endpoint includes the `state` GET parameter verbatim in a `<script>` tag in the output, so without escaping. An attacker could lead or redirect a user to a crafted URL containing JavaScript code, which would then cause that code to be executed in the victim's browser as if it was part of OpenRefine. Version 3.8.3 fixes this issue.	Openrefine
CVE-2024-47879	Oct 24, 2024	OpenRefine <3.8.3: CSRF allows arbitrary Clojure/Python execution OpenRefine is a free, open source tool for working with messy data. Prior to version 3.8.3, lack of cross-site request forgery protection on the `preview-expression` command means that visiting a malicious website could cause an attacker-controlled expression to be executed. The expression can contain arbitrary Clojure or Python code. The attacker must know a valid project ID of a project that contains at least one row, and the attacker must convince the victim to open a malicious webpage. Version 3.8.3 fixes the issue.	Openrefine
CVE-2024-23833	Feb 12, 2024	OpenRefine 3.7.7 JDBC Injection Exposes Host Files - Upgrade to 3.7.8 OpenRefine is a free, open source power tool for working with messy data and improving it. A jdbc attack vulnerability exists in OpenRefine(version<=3.7.7) where an attacker may construct a JDBC query which may read files on the host filesystem. Due to the newer MySQL driver library in the latest version of OpenRefine (8.0.30), there is no associated deserialization utilization point, so original code execution cannot be achieved, but attackers can use this vulnerability to read sensitive files on the target server. This issue has been addressed in version 3.7.8. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.	Openrefine
CVE-2023-41887	Sep 15, 2023	OpenRefine RCE before 3.7.5 allows unauthenticated remote code execution OpenRefine is a powerful free, open source tool for working with messy data. Prior to version 3.7.5, a remote code execution vulnerability allows any unauthenticated user to execute code on the server. Version 3.7.5 has a patch for this issue.	Openrefine
CVE-2023-41886	Sep 15, 2023	OpenRefine 3.7.4 Unauth ARF: File Read Vulnerability OpenRefine is a powerful free, open source tool for working with messy data. Prior to version 3.7.5, an arbitrary file read vulnerability allows any unauthenticated user to read a file on a server. Version 3.7.5 fixes this issue.	Openrefine
