Summary
A jdbc attack vulnerability exists in OpenRefine(version<=3.7.7)
Details
Vulnerability Recurrence
Start by constructing a malicious MySQL Server (using the open source project MySQL_Fake_Server here).
Then go to the Jdbc connection trigger vulnerability

Vulnerability Analysis
This vulnerability is the bypass of CVE-2023-41887 vulnerability repair, the main vulnerability principle is actually the use of official syntax features, as shown in the following figure, when the connection we can perform parameter configuration in the Host part
In com.google.refine.extension.database.mysql.MySQLConnectionManager#getConnection method in the final JdbcUrl structure
That is, in the toURI method call here, you can see that the Host part is directly concatenated for any verification, which can be bypassed using the address feature of mysql

PoC
Complete instructions, including specific configuration details, to reproduce the vulnerability.
Type: MySQL
Host: 127.0.0.1:3306,(host=127.0.0.1,port=3306,autoDeserialize=true,allowLoadLocalInfile=true,allowUrlInLocalInfile=true,allowLoadLocalInfileInPath=true),127.0.0.1
Port: 3306
User: win_hosts
Database: test
Impact
Due to the newer MySQL driver library in the latest version of OpenRefine (8.0.30), there is no associated deserialization utilization point, so original code execution cannot be achieved, but attackers can use this vulnerability to read sensitive files on the target server.
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker does not need any special privileges or access rights. No user interaction is needed for the attacker to exploit this vulnerability. The impact is confined to the system where the vulnerability exists. There is a low impact on the confidentiality of the information. There is a low impact on the integrity of the data. There is a low impact on the availability of the system.
Exploitation attempts have been detected. Elevated vigilance and prompt remediation are advised.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
