CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedImproper input validation in Snowflake CLI versions prior to 3.27.0 allows attackers to inject unsanitized user-controlled values into SQL strings, potentially executing arbitrary SQL statements within the victim's Snowflake session. This vulnerability primarily affects environments where users have write or pull-request access to project repositories that utilize Snowflake CLI, making it critical for organizations with such configurations to prioritize upgrading to version 3.27.0 to mitigate the risk of exploitation. Immediate action is recommended for teams managing CI/CD pipelines that interact with Snowflake to ensure security and compliance.

Original NVD Description
Improper input validation in Snowflake CLI versions prior to 3.27.0 allowed unsanitized user-controlled values to be interpolated into SQL strings that are executed as multi-statement queries. An attacker who is able to supply a malicious project configuration file or craft command-line input can cause Snowflake CLI to execute attacker-controlled SQL statements in the context of the victim's Snowflake session and active role. Successful exploitation requires either write or pull-request access to a project repository whose CI/CD pipeline runs Snowflake CLI under an elevated service account role, or the ability to supply untrusted input to CLI-wrapping automation. Impact is limited by the privileges held by the configured Snowflake role at execution time. The fix is available in Snowflake CLI version 3.27.0, which also addresses several additional security findings. Users must manually upgrade.
