CVE-2024-49760 Information

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.
