Description
SQLite before 3.54.0 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows attackers to read uninitialized page-cache memory by supplying a WAL file with an undersized page size. Attackers can craft a database and WAL file whose oversized record payload makes queries like substr() return stale bytes, disclosing other table rows and internal pointers.
Attack Chain
Attacker fingerprints web application and identifies injectable parameters using automated scanners
Attacker injects SQL payload via vulnerable parameter to bypass authentication or extract data
Attacker dumps database tables including user credentials, session tokens, and sensitive data
Extracted password hashes cracked offline using hashcat/john or plain-text credentials used directly
Valid credentials reused across other systems and services in the environment
MITRE ATT&CK Techniques
SQL injection exploited against web application database layer
Database contents exfiltrated including credentials and PII
Credentials stolen from database used for further access
