How to fix?

Upgrade snowflake-sdk to version 1.6.21 or higher.

Overview

snowflake-sdk is a Node.js driver for Snowflake

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Command Injection 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.

Mitigation:

This attack scenario can be mitigated through URL whitelisting as well as common anti-phishing resources.
