CVE-2025-24795

Credential disclosure via world-readable cache file

Published Jan 29, 2025 · Updated Jan 31, 2025

Incorrect file permissions in Snowflake Connector for Python 2.3.7 through 3.13.0 allow local users to read temporary credentials on Linux. The flush_temporary_credentials function opens the JSON credential cache with the process-default file mode instead of forcing owner-only permissions. Exposure requires temporary caching with EXTERNALBROWSER or USERNAME_PASSWORD_MFA authentication, allowing another local account to read the cached credentials.
