Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection')

Summary

The gosnowflake is the Snowflake Golang driver. Versions prior to 1.6.19, a command injection vulnerability exists in the Snowflake Golang driver via single sign-on (SSO) browser URL authentication. In order to exploit the potential for command injection, an attacker would need to be successful in establishing a malicious resource and redirecting users to utilize the resource. The attacker could set up a malicious, publicly accessible server that 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 remote code execution. This attack scenario can be mitigated through URL whitelisting as well as common anti-phishing resources.
