OpenRefine has a path traversal in LoadLanguageCommand

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Oct 24, 2024 in OpenRefine/OpenRefine • Updated Oct 25, 2024

Package

maven org.openrefine:openrefine (Maven)

Affected versions

< 3.8.3

Patched versions

3.8.3

Description

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.
When doing so, 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.

The command should be patched by checking that the normalized path is in the expected directory.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
