high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 414742

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- gosnowflake is th Snowflake Golang driver. Prior to version 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 (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. A patch is available in
version 1.6.19. (CVE-2023-34231)
