Improper Privilege Management Affecting net.snowflake:snowflake-hive-metastore-connector package, versions [0,]

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Privilege Management due to a flaw in the add_snowflake_hive_metastore_connector_script_action helper script. A malicious insider without admin privileges could exploit this flaw to download content from a Microsoft domain to the local system and replace the valid content with malicious code. If the attacker then also had local access to the same system where the maliciously modified script is run, they could attempt to manipulate users into executing the attacker-controlled helper script, potentially gaining elevated privileges to the local system. Note: You are only affected if you're using the add_snowflake_hive_metastore_connector_script_action helper script. If that is the case, the only available remediation is to update the specific script, or to stop using it.
