What is CVE-2022-35737?

The vulnerability allows an array-bounds overflow condition to occur in SQLite versions between 1.0.12 and 3.39.1 when large strings are passed to certain C API functions. Specifically, using an excessively large amount of data can exploit this weakness, potentially leading to unexpected behavior, crashes, or unauthorized access. Users are advised to upgrade to version 3.39.2 or later to mitigate these risks effectively.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
