Denial-of-Service when binding invalid parameters in sqlite3

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Apr 28, 2022 in TryGhost/node-sqlite3 • Updated Jan 30, 2023

Package

npm sqlite3 (npm)

Affected versions

>= 5.0.0, < 5.0.3

Patched versions

5.0.3

Description

Affected versions of sqlite3 will experience a fatal error when supplying a specific object in the parameter array. This error causes the application to crash and could not be caught. Users of sqlite3 v5.0.0, v5.0.1 and v5.0.2 are affected by this. This issue is fixed in v5.0.3. All users are recommended to upgrade to v5.0.3 or later. Ensure there is sufficient sanitization in the parent application to protect against invalid values being supplied to binding parameters as a workaround.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
