Answer in brief
CVE-2026-85528 records a Medium severity (CVSS 5.3) vulnerability in Snowflake JDBC Driver auto-configuration account validation permits credential redirection. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps Snowflake/net.snowflake:snowflake-jdbc (generic), Snowflake/net.snowflake:snowflake-jdbc-fips (generic), Snowflake/net.snowflake:snowflake-jdbc-thin (generic), Snowflake/Snowflake JDBC Driver (generic) and additional mapped packages. Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.

HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
CVSS is 5.3. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

Improper input validation of the auto-configuration account identifier in Snowflake JDBC Driver versions 4.2.0 through 4.3.3 allowed a credential-bearing login request to be redirected to an attacker-selected HTTPS endpoint. An attacker able to control the account value could cause the driver to transmit a reusable login credential to a host of their choosing and replay it to obtain the privileges granted to that credential. Successful exploitation requires an application using jdbc:snowflake:auto with a connections.toml section that omits an explicit host and a lower-trust principal able to set the account value; ordinary JDBC URLs are unaffected. The fix is available in Snowflake JDBC Driver version 4.3.4, including the snowflake-jdbc-fips and snowflake-jdbc-thin. Users must manually upgrade.
