AI-suggested

Upgrade SQLite to version 3.54.0 or later where this vulnerability is fixed. No other specific mitigations are indicated. Since this is a local attack requiring SQL submission capability, restricting untrusted SQL input is also advisable.

Description

SQLite versions before 3.54.0 have an authorization bypass vulnerability in the lookupName() function. This flaw causes the authorizer callback to be invoked only for the first joined table's USING column, allowing attackers who can submit SQL queries to bypass SQLITE_READ restrictions on shared USING columns in RIGHT or FULL JOIN operations.
