Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
OpenRefine's database extension, used for SQLite connections, is vulnerable in versions 3.4-beta through 3.8.2 (affected range >=3.4-beta, <3.8.3). An attacker with network access to the OpenRefine instance can set the enable_load_extension option on the SQLite connection, which allows loading shared libraries and running arbitrary code on the server. Upgrade to version 3.8.3, which contains the fix.
