GHSA-2mqw-rq5m-8hc8 has a CVSS score of 5/10, rated MEDIUM. Review your exposure and patch according to your risk tolerance.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-2mqw-rq5m-8hc8?

GHSA-2mqw-rq5m-8hc8 affects the following packages: Snowflake.Data (NuGet). Ecosystems affected: NuGet.

How do I fix GHSA-2mqw-rq5m-8hc8?

Update Snowflake.Data to 4.3.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-2mqw-rq5m-8hc8 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-2mqw-rq5m-8hc8 in my NuGet dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for Snowflake.Data. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate GHSA-2mqw-rq5m-8hc8 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against GHSA-2mqw-rq5m-8hc8?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-2mqw-rq5m-8hc8 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is GHSA-2mqw-rq5m-8hc8 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-2mqw-rq5m-8hc8 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-2mqw-rq5m-8hc8?

GHSA-2mqw-rq5m-8hc8 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.1%, placing it in the 3th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-2mqw-rq5m-8hc8?

GHSA-2mqw-rq5m-8hc8 is classified as Incorrect Default Permissions (CWE-276). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-2mqw-rq5m-8hc8 published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-2mqw-rq5m-8hc8 was published on January 29, 2025 and was last updated on January 29, 2025. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Issue

Snowflake discovered and remediated a vulnerability in the Snowflake Connector for .NET in which files downloaded from stages are temporarily placed in a world-readable local directory, making them accessible to unauthorized users on the same machine.

This vulnerability affects versions 2.0.12 through 4.2.0 on Linux and macOS. Snowflake fixed the issue in version 4.3.0.

Vulnerability Details

When downloading files from stages, the Snowflake Connector for .NET uses the OS temporary directory to save files before copying them to the destination directory. The files in the temporary directory, which are removed once the write to the destination directory concludes, have world-readable permissions on Linux and macOS. This could allow any user on the local machine to access them during their limited lifetime.

Solution

Snowflake released version 4.3.0 of the Snowflake Connector for .NET, which fixes this issue. We recommend users upgrade to version 4.3.0.
