Last modified
CVE-2025-71316 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. SQLite 'sqldiff.exe' does not securely handle the way the Microsoft Windows C runtime converts Unicode characters to ANSI codepages. An attacker could use the '-L' option to load an arbitrary DLL with a crafted command line argument string that results in command line file arguments being misinterpreted as command line options. EPSS estimates a 0.38% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
