## Affected packages

- `org.openrefine:openrefine` (Maven): affected `<3.8.3`; fixed in `3.8.3`

## Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

> OpenRefine (Maven package org.openrefine:openrefine) versions before 3.8.3 ship Google API client ID and client secret credentials inside released artifacts, where they can be extracted from the bundled gdata extension. An attacker who extracts them could use them to request access to Google accounts while appearing to be OpenRefine, though user access tokens are not exposed by this issue. Upgrade to 3.8.3, which fixes the problem; the bundled credentials should also be revoked, and users who connected a Google account to OpenRefine should revoke that access.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-3pg4-qwc8-426r>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
