CVE-2026-92903 Snowflake CVE debrief

Who should care

Defenders responsible for CI/CD pipelines, automation workflows, and Snowflake CLI deployments should assess exposure and prioritize upgrading to version 3.27.0. This includes operators managing Snowflake CLI, platform administrators, vulnerability management teams, and security teams responsible for reviewing and mitigating vulnerabilities in their environments.

Why it matters

CVE-2026-92903 is a high-severity vulnerability in Snowflake CLI that allows unsanitized user-controlled values to be interpolated into SQL strings. Defenders should prioritize upgrading to version 3.27.0 and assess exposure in CI/CD pipelines and automation workflows.

• Potential execution of attacker-controlled SQL statements in the context of the victim's Snowflake session and active role
• Possible elevation of privileges or data tampering
• Need for verification of affected versions and exposure in CI/CD pipelines and automation workflows
• Priority on upgrading to Snowflake CLI version 3.27.0

Technical summary

Improper input validation in Snowflake CLI versions prior to 3.27.0 allows unsanitized user-controlled values to be interpolated into SQL strings executed as multi-statement queries. An attacker can cause Snowflake CLI to execute attacker-controlled SQL statements in the context of the victim's Snowflake session and active role, potentially leading to privilege escalation or data tampering. Impact is limited by the privileges held by the configured Snowflake role at execution time. Successful exploitation requires write or pull-request access to a project repository or the ability to supply untrusted input to CLI-wrapping automation.

Defensive priority

Defenders should prioritize upgrading to Snowflake CLI version 3.27.0 and assess exposure in their environments, particularly in CI/CD pipelines and automation workflows.

Recommended defensive actions

• Upgrade to Snowflake CLI version 3.27.0
• Assess exposure in CI/CD pipelines and automation workflows
• Review and limit access to project repositories and automation inputs
• Verify affected Snowflake CLI versions in use
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems
• Monitor relevant logs for exposed assets
• Track exceptions and retest remediated assets

Evidence notes

The CVE record and NVD entry provide details on the vulnerability, its impact, and the fix. Additional information on affected versions, exploitation, and victim impact is limited. Defenders should verify CI/CD pipeline and automation workflow exposure, review project repositories, and assess Snowflake CLI version usage. Evidence is limited, so defenders must focus on supplied official advisories and CVE records for validation.
