### Issue Snowflake was informed via our bug bounty program of a command injection vulnerability in the Snowflake NodeJS driver via SSO browser URL authentication. ### Impacted driver package: snowflake-connector-nodejs ### Impacted version range: before [Version 1.6.21](https://community.snowflake.com/s/article/Node-js-Driver-Release-Notes) ### Attack Scenario 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. ### Solution On April 1...
