CVE-2026-119371: SQLite stack exhaustion in common table expression nesting

CVE-2026-119371 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.5 · Published 2026-10-30

SQLite is a widely-used lightweight SQL database engine embedded in mobile phones, computers, and countless applications. A vulnerability in versions before 3.54.0 allows attackers to supply deeply nested database queries (common table expressions) that bypass safety limits and crash the application, causing a denial of service. An attacker can trigger this through plain SQL or by planting a malicious database file.

Technical details

The vulnerability is a stack exhaustion flaw in SQLite's expression nesting limit enforcement. Common table expressions (CTEs) introduced via a WITH clause are not counted against the SQLITE_LIMIT_EXPR_DEPTH limit, allowing an attacker to chain tens of thousands of CTEs that trigger unbounded recursion in the selectExpander() function, exhausting the call stack and crashing the process.

Affected products

SQLite SQLite before 3.54.0
