Summary

Zetetic SQLCipher before 4.15.0 allows SQL injection. The sqlcipher_export function temporarily clears defensive restrictions during dynamic schema manipulation. A vulnerability in handling the source database name parameter allowed a crafted source name to execute statements otherwise blocked, leading to modifications of the sqlite_schema table and database corruption.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can inject malicious SQL statements, modify the database schema, and cause database corruption. This may result in data loss or integrity breaches.

Recommendation

Update SQLCipher to version 4.15.0 or later, which strictly validates the source database name and prevents the bypass. Until then, avoid using sqlcipher_export with untrusted database names.

Original NVD description (English source)

Zetetic SQLCipher before 4.15.0 allows SQL injection. The sqlcipher_export convenience function can be used to copy the contents of one attached database into another. It is most often used to convert between plaintext and encrypted databases. It needs to do dynamic schema manipulation, and thus the function temporarily clears defensive restrictions during operation. A vulnerability in the handling of the source database name parameter made it possible for a caller to supply a crafted source name, which could execute statements that defensive mode would otherwise block. This could allow direct modifications to the sqlite_schema table and database corruption. SQLCipher 4.15.0 now strictly validates the source database name and prevents the bypass.
