CVE-2025-6965 - Vulnerability Details

Description

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.

Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability arises when the number of aggregate terms in a query exceeds the number of columns in SQLite, resulting in an integer truncation that corrupts memory. This corruption could cause the application to crash or corrupt data, as the memory layout is overwritten. The weakness is classified as CWE-197.

Affected Systems

All releases of the SQLite engine before version 3.50.2 are affected. The CNA identifies the product simply as SQLite, with the version range covering all pre‑3.50.2 releases. No additional vendor or product variants are listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.2 indicates a high severity impact; combined with an EPSS score of 73 %, the likelihood of exploitation is significant. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers would likely trigger the flaw by submitting crafted SQL statements that generate an aggregate query exceeding the column count, which requires the ability to execute queries against the vulnerable SQLite instance, either locally or over the network depending on how the database is accessed.

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

Upgrade the SQLite engine to version 3.50.2 or later to apply the integer truncation fix.
If an immediate upgrade is not possible, validate and constrain user‑supplied SQL to ensure that the number of aggregate terms does not exceed the number of columns, thereby preventing the truncation condition.
Apply additional safeguards such as input sanitization or access controls that limit the creation or execution of complex aggregate queries from untrusted sources.
