Impact

SQLite 3.41 includes a use‑after‑free bug in its JSON parsing logic. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted JSON payload that causes memory to be freed and then accessed again, allowing the attacker to trigger an illegal memory read or write. This can lead to arbitrary code execution, leakage of sensitive data, or denial of service in the process running SQLite.

Affected Systems

SQLite version 3.41.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability is reachable remotely via the JSON interface. Although no CVSS or EPSS score is available, the potential for arbitrary code execution and the absence of mitigation means the risk is considered high. The attack would involve an attacker supplying malicious JSON to an application that uses SQLite, and the exploit requires no special privileges on the host.

Generated by OpenCVE AI on July 28, 2026 at 15:24 UTC.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to SQLite 3.42 or later where the JSON parsing bug is fixed.
  • If an upgrade is not feasible, run the application in a sandboxed environment that limits filesystem and process access to mitigate potential exploitation.
  • Disable the JSON extension in SQLite or replace it with a trusted third‑party JSON parsing library if JSON support is not essential.
