CVE-2023-34232: Snowflake sdk Snowflake NodeJS Driver Vulnerable To Vulnerability
HIGHCVE-2023-34232 is a HIGH (CVSS 7.3) snowflake nodejs driver vulnerable to vulnerability (CWE-77: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection')) affecting Snowflake sdk libraries in the npm ecosystem. The issue involves snowflake nodejs driver vulnerable to command injection. Remediation is available by upgrading affected packages to version 1.6.21.
CVE-2023-34232 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 7.3
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).
How to Fix CVE-2023-34232
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Snowflake sdk dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
npm install snowflake-sdk@1.6.21Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls snowflake-sdkHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2023-34232, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls snowflake-sdkAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Snowflake sdk in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.6.21), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls snowflake-sdk command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-77: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component. In Snowflake sdk, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

"details" : "### Issue\nSnowflake was informed via our bug bounty program of a command injection vulnerability in the Snowflake NodeJS driver via SSO browser URL authentication.\n\n### Impacted driver package: \nsnowflake-connector-nodejs\n\n### Impacted version range: \nbefore [Version 1.6.21](https://community.snowflake.com/s/article/Node-js-Driver-Release-Notes) \n\n### Attack Scenario\nIn 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. \n\nThis attack scenario can be mitigated through URL whitelisting as well as common anti-phishing resources. \n\n### Solution\nOn April 18, 2023, Snowflake merged a patch that fixed a command injection vulnerability in the Snowflake NodeJS driver via SSO browser URL authentication. The vulnerability affected the Snowflake NodeJS driver before Version 1.6.21. We strongly recommend users upgrade to Version 1.6.21 as soon as possible via the following resources: [Snowflake NodeJS Driver](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/developer-guide/node-js/nodejs-driver)\n\n### Additional Information\nIf you discover a security vulnerability in one of our products or websites, please report the issue to HackerOne.
