SCA: security update for org.openrefine.dependencies:butterfly (GHSA-3p8v-w8mr-m3x8)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409620

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- The 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. (CVE-2024-47883)
