CVE-2024-47878: OpenRefine has a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability (XSS) in GData extension (authorized.vt)

October 24, 2024 (updated October 30, 2024)

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.
