Recent SQLite Security Vulnerabilities
SQLite zipfileInflate Info Disclosure <3.51.1
CVE-2025-70873
7.5 - High
- March 12, 2026
An information disclosure issue in the zipfileInflate function in the zipfile extension in SQLite v3.51.1 and earlier allows attackers to obtain heap memory via supplying a crafted ZIP file.
Heap Inspection
SQLite3 3.50.0 Integer Overflow DoS via setupLookaside
CVE-2025-52099
- October 24, 2025
SQLite FTS5 Integer Overflow Enables Out-of-Bounds Write
CVE-2025-7709
- September 08, 2025
An integer overflow exists in the FTS5 https://sqlite.org/fts5.html extension. It occurs when the size of an array of tombstone pointers is calculated and truncated into a 32-bit integer. A pointer to partially controlled data can then be written out of bounds.
Integer Overflow or Wraparound
SQLite 3.39.2-3.41.1 Order By ExprList Integer Overflow
CVE-2025-7458
9.1 - Critical
- July 29, 2025
An integer overflow in the sqlite3KeyInfoFromExprList function in SQLite versions 3.39.2 through 3.41.1 allows an attacker with the ability to execute arbitrary SQL statements to cause a denial of service or disclose sensitive information from process memory via a crafted SELECT statement with a large number of expressions in the ORDER BY clause.
SQLite Memory Corrupt: Aggregates > Columns Before 3.50.2
CVE-2025-6965
- July 15, 2025
There exists a vulnerability in SQLite versions before 3.50.2 where the number of aggregate terms could exceed the number of columns available. This could lead to a memory corruption issue. We recommend upgrading to version 3.50.2 or above.
Numeric Truncation Error
SQLite concat_ws() Integer Overflow Heap Buffer Overflow (CVE-2025-3277)
CVE-2025-3277
9.8 - Critical
- April 14, 2025
An integer overflow can be triggered in SQLites `concat_ws()` function. The resulting, truncated integer is then used to allocate a buffer. When SQLite then writes the resulting string to the buffer, it uses the original, untruncated size and thus a wild Heap Buffer overflow of size ~4GB can be triggered. This can result in arbitrary code execution.
Integer Overflow or Wraparound
SQLite 3.49.0/3.49.1 DoS via sqlite3_db_config arg
CVE-2025-29088
- April 10, 2025
In SQLite 3.49.0 before 3.49.1, certain argument values to sqlite3_db_config (in the C-language API) can cause a denial of service (application crash). An sz*nBig multiplication is not cast to a 64-bit integer, and consequently some memory allocations may be incorrect.
SQLite 3.44.0-3.49.0: concat_ws() Integer Overflow (before 3.49.1)
CVE-2025-29087
7.5 - High
- April 07, 2025
In SQLite 3.44.0 through 3.49.0 before 3.49.1, the concat_ws() SQL function can cause memory to be written beyond the end of a malloc-allocated buffer. If the separator argument is attacker-controlled and has a large string (e.g., 2MB or more), an integer overflow occurs in calculating the size of the result buffer, and thus malloc may not allocate enough memory.
Integer Overflow or Wraparound
SQLite UAF in jsonParseAddNodeArray() Leads to Local DOS via Malicious Input
CVE-2024-0232
4.7 - Medium
- January 16, 2024
A heap use-after-free issue has been identified in SQLite in the jsonParseAddNodeArray() function in sqlite3.c. This flaw allows a local attacker to leverage a victim to pass specially crafted malicious input to the application, potentially causing a crash and leading to a denial of service.
Dangling pointer
SQLite 3.43.0 heap-based overflow in sessionReadRecord (critical)
CVE-2023-7104
5.5 - Medium
- December 29, 2023
A vulnerability was found in SQLite SQLite3 up to 3.43.0 and classified as critical. This issue affects the function sessionReadRecord of the file ext/session/sqlite3session.c of the component make alltest Handler. The manipulation leads to heap-based buffer overflow. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-248999.
Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVE-2021-31239
7.5 - High
- May 09, 2023
An issue found in SQLite SQLite3 v.3.35.4 that allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the appendvfs.c function.

Classic Buffer Overflow
SQLite<3.40.0 azProhibitedFunctions bypass via --safe allows WRITEFILE UDF
CVE-2022-46908
7.3 - High
- December 12, 2022
SQLite through 3.40.0, when relying on --safe for execution of an untrusted CLI script, does not properly implement the azProhibitedFunctions protection mechanism, and instead allows UDF functions such as WRITEFILE.
SQLite 3.31.1 NPE in INTERSEC Query Processing
CVE-2020-35525
7.5 - High
- September 01, 2022
In SQlite 3.31.1, a potential null pointer derreference was found in the INTERSEC query processing.

CVE-2020-35527
9.8 - Critical
- September 01, 2022

Buffer Overflow
SQLite 1.0.123.39.x (3.39.2): Array-Bounds Overflow via large C API strings
CVE-2022-35737
7.5 - High
- August 03, 2022
SQLite 1.0.12 through 3.39.x before 3.39.2 sometimes allows an array-bounds overflow if billions of bytes are used in a string argument to a C API.
A Memory Leak vulnerability exists in SQLite Project SQLite3 3.35.1 and 3.37.0 via maliciously crafted SQL Queries (made via editing the Database File), it is possible to query a record, and leak subsequent bytes of memory
CVE-2021-45346
4.3 - Medium
- February 14, 2022
A Memory Leak vulnerability exists in SQLite Project SQLite3 3.35.1 and 3.37.0 via maliciously crafted SQL Queries (made via editing the Database File), it is possible to query a record, and leak subsequent bytes of memory that extend beyond the record, which could let a malicious user obtain sensitive information. NOTE: The developer disputes this as a vulnerability stating that If you give SQLite a corrupted database file and submit a query against the database, it might read parts of the database that you did not intend or expect.
Memory Leak
A segmentation fault can occur in the sqlite3.exe command-line component of SQLite 3.36.0
CVE-2021-36690
- August 24, 2021
A segmentation fault can occur in the sqlite3.exe command-line component of SQLite 3.36.0 via the idxGetTableInfo function when there is a crafted SQL query. NOTE: the vendor disputes the relevance of this report because a sqlite3.exe user already has full privileges (e.g., is intentionally allowed to execute commands). This report does NOT imply any problem in the SQLite library.
A flaw was found in SQLite's SELECT query functionality (src/select.c)
CVE-2021-20227
- March 23, 2021
A flaw was found in SQLite's SELECT query functionality (src/select.c). This flaw allows an attacker who is capable of running SQL queries locally on the SQLite database to cause a denial of service or possible code execution by triggering a use-after-free. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

Dangling pointer
SQLite before 3.25.3, when the FTS3 extension is enabled, encounters an integer overflow (and resultant buffer overflow) for FTS3 queries in a "merge" operation
CVE-2018-20506
- April 03, 2019
SQLite before 3.25.3, when the FTS3 extension is enabled, encounters an integer overflow (and resultant buffer overflow) for FTS3 queries in a "merge" operation that occurs after crafted changes to FTS3 shadow tables, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging the ability to run arbitrary SQL statements (such as in certain WebSQL use cases). This is a different vulnerability than CVE-2018-20346.
