Summary

snowflake-connector-nodejs, a NodeJS driver for Snowflake, is vulnerable to command injection via SSO browser URL authentication in versions prior to 1.6.21. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute malicious code on the user's local machine.

Risk Assessment

The organization may be exposed to remote code execution, potentially leading to data loss or system takeover. This is particularly concerning if users are tricked into visiting a malicious URL.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade to version 1.6.21 or later and implement URL whitelisting along with anti-phishing resources.

Original NVD description (English source)

snowflake-connector-nodejs, a NodeJS driver for Snowflake, is vulnerable to command injection via single sign on (SSO) browser URL authentication in versions prior to 1.6.21. In order to exploit the potential for command injection, an attacker would need to be successful in (1) establishing a malicious resource and (2) redirecting users to utilize the resource. The attacker could set up a malicious, publicly accessible server which responds to the SSO URL with an attack payload. If the attacker then tricked a user into visiting the maliciously crafted connection URL, the user’s local machine would render the malicious payload, leading to a remote code execution. This attack scenario can be mitigated through URL whitelisting as well as common anti-phishing resources. Version 1.6.21 contains a patch for this issue.
