Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
π¨ **Essence**: Butterfly (OpenRefine module) mishandles the `file://` protocol in URLs. π **Consequences**: Path Traversal, SSRF, and XSS attacks. Critical integrity loss!
Q2Root Cause? (CWE/Flaw)
π‘οΈ **Root Cause**: CWE-36 (Relative Path Traversal). The framework fails to sanitize or validate file paths derived from URL inputs. π **Flaw**: Improper handling of `file` protocol schemes.
Q3Who is affected? (Versions/Components)
π’ **Vendor**: OpenRefine. π¦ **Product**: simile-butterfly. β οΈ **Affected**: Versions **prior to 1.2.6**. If you are on 1.2.5 or lower, you are at risk!
Q4What can hackers do? (Privileges/Data)
π **Attacker Actions**: 1. Read arbitrary server files (Path Traversal). 2. Force server to make requests to internal networks (SSRF). 3. Inject malicious scripts (XSS).β¦
π **Public Exp?**: No specific PoC code provided in the data. However, the vulnerability type (Path Traversal/SSRF) is well-known. Wild exploitation is likely possible for skilled attackers. π΅οΈββοΈ
Q7How to self-check? (Features/Scanning)
π **Self-Check**: 1. Check Butterfly version (< 1.2.6). 2. Scan for `file://` protocol usage in URL parameters. 3. Look for directory traversal patterns (`../`) in logs. 4.β¦
π₯ **Urgency**: HIGH. π **CVSS**: High severity (C:H, I:H). π **Action**: Patch immediately. Remote, unauthenticated exploitation makes this a critical priority for any OpenRefine deployment.
