Incorrect Authorization
CVE-2024-23833
Summary
OpenRefine is a free, open-source power tool for working with messy data and improving it. A JDBC attack vulnerability exists in OpenRefine where an attacker may construct a JDBC query that may read files on the host filesystem. Due to the newer MySQL driver library in the latest version of OpenRefine, there is no associated deserialization utilization point, so original code execution cannot be achieved, but attackers can use this vulnerability to read sensitive files on the target server. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. This issue affects org.openrefine:database versions prior to 3.7.8.

CWE-863 - Incorrect Authorization
Authorization is a security mechanism performed by an application to grant or deny access to the requested resources by verifying the privileges of the user. When an application lacks effective authorization mechanisms, it enables unauthorized users to gain unintended privileges and illegitimate access to resources. Such a vulnerability may result in exposure of sensitive information, denial of service, arbitrary code execution, and complete system takeover.
