Vulnerability Spotlight: Remote code execution bug in SQLite
Summary: Cory Duplantis of Cisco Talos discovered an exploitable use-after-free vulnerability in the window function of SQLite3 3.26.0, where a specially crafted SQL command can trigger the flaw and potentially allow remote code execution. Talos confirmed that versions 3.26.0 and 3.27.0 are affected and worked with SQLite under its coordinated disclosure policy to resolve the issue and make an update available.
What you should know: SQLite is a client-side database library embedded in countless applications, so a use-after-free that a single malicious SQL command can trigger puts remote code execution risk inside software that never looks like a network-facing service.
