CVE-2026-119586: SQLite command-line shell .recover command injection

CVE-2026-119586 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.8 · Published 2026-10-30

SQLite's command-line tool contains a flaw in the .recover command used to restore corrupted databases. An attacker can craft a malicious database file that, when processed by the recovery command and piped to a new SQLite instance, executes arbitrary operating system commands with the privileges of the user running sqlite3. This allows code execution when a user attempts to recover from a damaged database.

Vendors: SQLite.

Technical details

The .recover command in the SQLite CLI reconstructs CREATE statements from the sqlite_schema table but does not sanitize output; it emits attacker-planted SQL statements verbatim. An attacker can insert a valid CREATE statement followed by a dot-command (such as .shell or .system) into the schema. When the documented recovery pipe—piping .recover output into a second sqlite3 instance—is used, the second instance interprets the dot-commands as meta-commands and executes them at the operator's privilege level. This is a command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) triggered by user interaction with an untrusted database file.
