## Machine-written summary

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

> The GData extension of OpenRefine (Maven org.openrefine:extensions) is affected in versions before 3.8.3. The authorized endpoint places the state URL parameter unescaped inside a script tag, enabling reflected cross-site scripting. An attacker who gets a user to open a crafted link can run JavaScript in the user's browser with OpenRefine's privileges, such as deleting projects. Upgrade to version 3.8.3.

## 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-pw3x-c5vp-mfc3>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
