CVE-2024-49760 OpenRefine has a path traversal in LoadLanguageCommand

What is CVE-2024-49760?

CVE-2024-49760 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. 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.

Weakness: CWE-22
