Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 25 Jul 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Red Hat has released updated RPM packages for the affected SQLite components as part of Red Hat Hardened Images. Users should apply the update as provided by Red Hat to remediate the vulnerabilities. Since this is an official Red Hat security advisory with updated packages available, applying these updates is the recommended remediation. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory. No additional mitigation steps are specified.

Description

This update includes the following RPMs: sqlite: * lemon-3.53.4-0.1.hum1 (aarch64, x86_64) * sqlite-3.53.4-0.1.hum1 (aarch64, x86_64) * sqlite-analyzer-3.53.4-0.1.hum1 (aarch64, x86_64) * sqlite-debug-3.53.4-0.1.hum1 (aarch64, x86_64) * sqlite-devel-3.53.4-0.1.hum1 (aarch64, x86_64) * sqlite-doc-3.53.4-0.1.hum1 (noarch) * sqlite-libs-3.53.4-0.1.hum1 (aarch64, x86_64) * sqlite-tcl-3.53.4-0.1.hum1 (aarch64, x86_64) * sqlite-tools-3.53.4-0.1.hum1 (aarch64, x86_64) * sqlite-3.53.4-0.1.hum1.src (src)

Impact

The vulnerabilities addressed are rated as high severity and relate to the Red Hat Hardened Images RPMs, specifically SQLite components. The advisory does not provide explicit impact details or exploitation information but implies potential security risks that warranted a security update. There are no known exploits in the wild reported at this time.

Summary

This Red Hat security advisory updates multiple SQLite-related RPM packages within Red Hat Hardened Images to address a set of vulnerabilities including CVE-2026-51297, CVE-2026-51298, CVE-2026-51302, and CVE-2026-51304. The advisory lists updated RPMs such as lemon, sqlite, sqlite-analyzer, sqlite-debug, sqlite-devel, sqlite-doc, sqlite-libs, sqlite-tcl, and sqlite-tools for aarch64 and x86_64 architectures. The advisory does not specify detailed technical descriptions or CVSS scores but categorizes the severity as high and references CWE-825. The update is intended as a bug fix and enhancement update for Red Hat Hardened Images.

CWE-825Expired Pointer Dereference (opens in a new tab)
Base weakness
The product dereferences a pointer that contains a location for memory that was previously valid, but is no longer valid.
Architecture and Design
Choose a language that provides automatic memory management.
Implementation
When freeing pointers, be sure to set them to NULL once they are freed. However, the utilization of multiple or complex data structures may lower the usefulness of this strategy.

CWE-125Out-of-bounds Read (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessCWE Top 25 (2025): #8
The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
Implementation · Input Validation
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
Architecture and Design · Language Selection
Use a language that provides appropriate memory abstractions.

CWE-191Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound) (opens in a new tab)
Base weakness
The product subtracts one value from another, such that the result is less than the minimum allowable integer value, which produces a value that is not equal to the correct result.
