CVE-2022-24441: snyk Code Injection vulnerability

July 6, 2023 (updated April 24, 2025)

The package snyk before 1.1064.0 is vulnerable to Code Injection when analyzing a project. An attacker who can convince a user to scan a malicious project can include commands in a build file such as build.gradle or gradle-wrapper.jar, which will be executed with the privileges of the application. This vulnerability may be triggered when running the the CLI tool directly, or when running a scan with one of the IDE plugins that invoke the Snyk CLI. Successful exploitation of this issue would likely require some level of social engineering - to coerce an untrusted project to be downloaded and analyzed via the Snyk CLI or opened in an IDE where a Snyk IDE plugin is installed and enabled. Additionally, if the IDE has a Trust feature then the target folder must be marked as ‘trusted’ in order to be vulnerable.

NOTE: This issue is independent of the one reported in CVE-2022-40764, and upgrading to a fixed version for this addresses that issue as well.

The affected IDE plugins and versions are:

  • VS Code - Affected: <=1.8.0, Fixed: 1.9.0
  • IntelliJ - Affected: <=2.4.47, Fixed: 2.4.48
  • Visual Studio - Affected: <=1.1.30, Fixed: 1.1.31
  • Eclipse - Affected: <=v20221115.132308, Fixed: All subsequent versions
  • Language Server - Affected: <=v20221109.114426, Fixed: All subsequent versions
