You're correct. The issue was introduced in this commit by a human not by copilot: https://github.com/snowflakedb/snowflake-connector-net/pull/...
replyHowever, GitHub Advanced Security, a bot, flagged something but not the real issue. So maybe that bot contributed a false sense of security.
Commit: https://github.com/snowflakedb/snowflake-connector-net/pull/...
Github is having some problems -- will check! thanks a lot!
replyI must be too tired because I cannot figure out what happened in that pull request. The PR/source branch was over a year old with none of the commits adding up to the full diff. There is [1], which introduced the vulnerability but didn't remove the environment variables above, then master is merged into it via [2] (but still doesn't show the variables being removed), yet in the full PR diff they're gone.
replyIn any case, I'm pretty sure you misattributed the vulnerability to Copilot because the PR got squash-merged and _all_ of the changes were then attributed to every contributor in that PR, despite Copilot only appearing on one of the commits.
[1] https://github.com/snowflakedb/snowflake-connector-net/commi...
[2] https://github.com/snowflakedb/snowflake-connector-net/commi...
Yes, it's misattributed, a human introduced it: https://github.com/snowflakedb/snowflake-connector-net/pull/...
replyThanks @vultour and croemer for your proactiveness -- you are correct,I updated the blog to clarify that Copilot was a co-author that checked the merged PR and code change, and identified it as all-clear without noticing the critical vulnerabilities, it's unclear whether the code-change was AI-Assisted
