There is no fixed version for Debian:unstable openrefine.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openrefine package and not the openrefine package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

OpenRefine is a free, open source tool for working with messy data. Prior to version 3.8.3, the built-in "Something went wrong!" error page includes the exception message and exception traceback without escaping HTML tags, enabling injection into the page if an attacker can reliably produce an error with an attacker-influenced message. It appears that the only way to reach this code in OpenRefine itself is for an attacker to somehow convince a victim to import a malicious file, which may be difficult. However, out-of-tree extensions may add their own calls to respondWithErrorPage. Version 3.8.3 has a fix for this issue.
