AI-suggested

Until a fix is available, avoid piping .recover output directly into sqlite3 or other command-line shells that may interpret dot-commands. Exercise caution when handling databases from untrusted sources.

Description

SQLite command-line shell versions through 3.54.1 contain a command injection vulnerability in the .recover command. This flaw allows attackers to craft a database schema that includes malicious dot-commands, such as .shell or .system, which are executed when the .recover output is piped into sqlite3. The vulnerability can lead to high impact including confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise.
