CVE-2024-8055
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedVanna v0.6.3 is vulnerable to SQL injection via Snowflake database in its file staging operations using the `PUT` and `COPY` commands. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote users to read arbitrary local files on the victim server, such as `/etc/passwd`, by exploiting the exposed SQL queries through a Python Flask API.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceVanna v0.6.3 contains a SQL injection vulnerability in its Snowflake database integration, specifically in file staging operations that use PUT and COPY commands. Through the exposed Python Flask API, unauthenticated attackers can inject malicious SQL to read arbitrary local files from the server (e.g., /etc/passwd).

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Vanna installation versionRun 'pip show vanna' or execute 'import vanna; print(vanna.__version__)' to confirm the installed versionAffected if version is 0.6.3 (exact match)
-
Confirm Snowflake integration is in useInspect your Vanna configuration or code for 'Snowflake' being set as the database type (e.g., check for 'vn.connect_to_snowflake' calls or Snowflake connection parameters in your config)Affected if Snowflake is the configured database backend
-
Check if Flask API is exposedReview your application startup code to see if Vanna's Flask API (typically via 'vanna.create_chat_bot' or similar endpoints) is being run and whether authentication is enforced on those endpointsAffected if the Flask API is running and accessible without authentication
-
Identify use of file staging operationsReview logs or code for usage of PUT or COPY commands within Vanna's Snowflake integration (these are used for file staging between local storage and Snowflake stages)Affected if PUT/COPY file staging operations are being used with the Snowflake integration
You are affected if you are running Vanna v0.6.3 with Snowflake integration enabled and the Flask API is accessible without authentication, particularly when using file staging operations.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade to a patched version of Vanna; if no patch is available, implement strict input validation and sanitization on the Flask API endpoints handling PUT/COPY commands to prevent SQL injection, and restrict API access via authentication.
