GHSA-3pg4-qwc8-426r: OpenRefine leaks Google API credentials in releases

### Impact OpenRefine releases contain Google API authentication keys ("client id" and "client secret") which can be extracted from released artifacts. For instance, download the package for OpenRefine 3.8.2 on linux. It contains the file `openrefine-3.8.2/webapp/extensions/gdata/module/MOD-INF/lib/openrefine-gdata.jar`, which can be extracted. This archive then contains the file `com/google/refine/extension/gdata/GoogleAPIExtension.java`, which contains the following lines: ```java // For a production release, the second parameter (default value) can be set // for the following three properties (client_id, client_secret, and API key) to // the production values from the Google API console private static final String CLIENT_ID = System.getProperty("ext.gdata.clientid", new String(Base64.getDecoder().decode("ODk1NTU1ODQzNjMwLWhkZWwyN3NxMDM5ZjFwMmZ0aGE2M2VvcWFpY2JwamZoLmFwcHMuZ29vZ2xldXNlcmNvbnRlbnQuY29t"))); private static final String CLIENT_SECRET = System.getPro...

GHSA-3jm4-c6qf-jrh3: OpenRefine's PreviewExpressionCommand, which is eval, lacks protection against cross-site request forgery (CSRF)

### Summary Lack of CSRF 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. ### Details The `com.google.refine.commands.expr.PreviewExpressionCommand` class contains the following comment: ``` /** * The command uses POST but does not actually modify any state so it does not require CSRF. */ ``` However, this appears to be false (or no longer true). The expression being previewed (executed) can be written in GREL, Python, or Clojure. Since there are no restrictions on what code can be executed, the expression can do anything the user running OpenRefine can do. For instance, the following expressions start a calculator: ``` clojure:(.exec (Runtime/getRuntime) "gnome-calculator") ``` ``` jython:import os;os.system("gnome-calculator") ```...
