What is CVE-2024-49750?

CVE-2024-49750 is a medium-severity security vulnerability in snowflake-connector-python (pip), affecting versions < 3.12.3. It is fixed in 3.12.3.

How severe is CVE-2024-49750?

CVE-2024-49750 has a CVSS score of 5.5 (Medium). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.

Which versions of snowflake-connector-python are affected by CVE-2024-49750?

snowflake-connector-python (pip) versions < 3.12.3 is affected.

Is there a fix for CVE-2024-49750?

Yes. CVE-2024-49750 is fixed in 3.12.3. Upgrade to this version or later.

Is CVE-2024-49750 exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether CVE-2024-49750 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

What actually determines whether CVE-2024-49750 is exploitable, and how bad it is?

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.

How do I fix CVE-2024-49750?

Upgrade snowflake-connector-python to 3.12.3 or later.

Summary

The Snowflake Connector for Python stores sensitive data in logs

Issue

Snowflake recently learned about and remediated a set of vulnerabilities in the Snowflake Connector for Python. Under specific conditions, certain users credentials (or portions of those credentials) were logged locally by the Connector to the users own systems. The credentials were not logged by Snowflake.

These vulnerabilities affect versions up to and including 3.12.2. Snowflake fixed the issue in version 3.12.3.

Vulnerability Details

When the logging level was set by the user to DEBUG, the Connector could have logged Duo passcodes (when specified via the “passcode” parameter) and Azure SAS tokens. Additionally, the SecretDetector logging formatter, if enabled, contained bugs which caused it to not fully redact JWT tokens and certain private key formats.

Additional Information

If you discover a security vulnerability in one of our products or websites, please report the issue to HackerOne. For more information, please see our Vulnerability Disclosure Policy.

Impact

CVE-2024-49750 has a CVSS score of 5.5 (Medium). The vector is requires local access, low privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (3.12.3); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

Affected versions

snowflake-connector-python (< 3.12.3)

Security releases

snowflake-connector-python → 3.12.3 (pip)

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
