CVE-2025-6965: 
SQLite vulnerability analysis and mitigation

CVE-2025-6965 is a critical security vulnerability discovered in SQLite versions prior to 3.50.2. The vulnerability was identified by Google's AI agent 'Big Sleep' in July 2025, and it involves a memory corruption issue where the number of aggregate terms could exceed the number of columns available (Google News, Hacker News).

The vulnerability is tracked with a CVSS score of 7.2 (High) and is classified as a memory corruption flaw. The issue occurs when an attacker can inject arbitrary SQL statements into an application, potentially causing an integer overflow resulting in reading beyond the end of an array (SQLite Commit, NVD).

The vulnerability could lead to memory corruption issues if successfully exploited. This type of vulnerability typically can result in application crashes or potentially allow arbitrary code execution in the context of the application running SQLite (Hacker News).

The vulnerability has been patched in SQLite version 3.50.2. Users are strongly recommended to upgrade to this version or later to mitigate the risk. The fix involves implementing a check that raises an error immediately if the number of aggregate terms in a query exceeds the maximum number of columns (SQLite Commit).

The discovery has garnered significant attention in the cybersecurity community, particularly due to it being the first reported instance of an AI agent preventing a zero-day exploit before it could be used by threat actors. Google has highlighted this as a significant achievement in the application of AI to cybersecurity (Google News).
