CVE-2026-13744: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in Snowflake Snowflake CLI
Improper neutralization of attacker-controlled content in Snowflake CLI versions prior to 3.19 allowed unintended SQL execution. By supplying crafted repository content, project configuration, manifest data, or specification input, an attacker could cause Snowflake CLI to execute unintended SQL in the context of the victim user's Snowflake session. Successful exploitation requires the victim to process attacker-controlled content through a vulnerable command path and is limited by the privileges assigned to that session. The fix is available in Snowflake CLI version 3.19. Users must manually upgrade.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves improper neutralization of special elements in Snowflake CLI before version 3.19, enabling SQL injection. By supplying crafted repository content, project configuration, manifest data, or specification input, an attacker can cause the CLI to execute unintended SQL commands in the context of the victim's Snowflake session. Successful exploitation depends on the victim processing attacker-controlled content through a vulnerable command path and is constrained by the privileges of the session. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.3, indicating high severity. Snowflake CLI version 3.19 includes a fix for this issue, requiring manual upgrade by users.
Potential Impact
An attacker can execute arbitrary SQL commands within the victim user's Snowflake session, potentially leading to full compromise of data confidentiality, integrity, and availability depending on the privileges of the session. This can result in unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion.
Mitigation Recommendations
A patch is available in Snowflake CLI version 3.19. Users must manually upgrade to this version to remediate the vulnerability. Since this is a client-side tool, the vendor does not manage remediation automatically despite the cloud service context.
