What is CVE-2024-47878?

CVE-2024-47878 is a high-severity vulnerability in OpenRefine, published on 24 Oct 2024.

Official description

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.

Weakness: CWE-79
