A patch is available in SQLite version 3.54.0 that fixes this vulnerability. Users should upgrade to version 3.54.0 or later to remediate the issue. Since this is a cloud service, the vendor manages remediation for cloud-hosted SQLite instances. No additional mitigation steps are indicated.

Description

CVE-2026-119372 is a use-after-free vulnerability in SQLite versions prior to 3.54.0 when built with FTS3/FTS4 and SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3_PARENTHESIS enabled. The flaw exists in the fts3BestSnippet() function due to dangling cached position-list pointers. An attacker can exploit this by running a full-text MATCH query combining OR and NEAR operators with snippet(), potentially causing the process to read freed heap memory and crash.
