Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The Maven package net.snowflake:snowflake-jdbc versions 3.2.3 through 3.21.0 on Windows is affected. An attacker with write access to a directory on the %PATH% can place a malicious executable there, which can lead to local privilege escalation to the user running the driver when EXTERNALBROWSER authentication is used. Upgrade to version 3.22.0, which fixes the issue.
