NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openrefine package and not the openrefine package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:24.10 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
