Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2024-47879

high Nessus Plugin ID 231804

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- OpenRefine is a free, open source tool for working with messy data. Prior to version 3.8.3, lack of cross- site request forgery protection on the `preview-expression` command means that visiting a malicious website could cause an attacker-controlled expression to be executed. The expression can contain arbitrary Clojure or Python code. The attacker must know a valid project ID of a project that contains at least one row, and the attacker must convince the victim to open a malicious webpage. Version 3.8.3 fixes the issue.
(CVE-2024-47879)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
