Technical details
The vulnerability is a regex catastrophic backtracking bypass in the ATTACH statement filter. When processing a malicious SQL file with approximately 350,000 SQLite comment lines, the possessive quantifier in the regex pattern causes exponential backtracking, causing preg_match() to return false instead of 0 or 1. The code treats false as "no match," allowing the ATTACH query to bypass the security filter and be executed, enabling file creation with embedded PHP code.
