CVE-2024-47883The OpenRefine fork of the MIT Simile Butterfly server is a modular web application framework. The Butterfly framework uses the java.net.URL class to refer to (what are expected to be) local resource files, like images or templates. This works: "opening a connection" to these URLs opens the local file. However, prior to version 1.2.6, if a file:/ URL is directly given where a relative path (resource name) is expected, this is also accepted in some code paths; the app then fetches the file, from a remote machine if indicated, and uses it as if it was a trusted part of the app's codebase. This leads to multiple weaknesses and potential weaknesses. An attacker that has network access to the application could use it to gain access to files, either on the the server's filesystem (path traversal) or shared by nearby machines (server-side request forgery with e.g. SMB). An attacker that can lead or redirect a user to a crafted URL belonging to the app could cause arbitrary attacker-controlled JavaScript to be loaded in the victim's browser (cross-site scripting). If an app is written in such a way that an attacker can influence the resource name used for a template, that attacker could cause the app to fetch and execute an attacker-controlled template (remote code execution). Version 1.2.6 contains a patch.

Proof of concept only
A proof of concept exists, but no reviewed exploit catalogue carries this CVE. Demonstrating a defect and weaponising it are different amounts of work.
CVSS E:P
A Waratek agent blocks this today.
Applicable rule: Promoted to MITIGATED-BY-RASP (security rule): this CVE's weakness (CWE-36: Absolute Path Traversal) can be mitigated by an ARMR path-traversal security rule that blocks this class of attack at the JVM level, without requiring a CVE-specific patch.

VRT selects the newest version's highest entry and
publishes it as cvssScore, newest rather than largest because scores are not comparable
across versions, and highest rather than first because the first entry is frequently a CNA placeholder
scoring 0.0 over NVD's own analysis.
