Description
A flaw was found in the SQLite command-line interface. This vulnerability allows an attacker to achieve arbitrary command execution by convincing a user to run the recovery command on a specially crafted database. Because the recovery process fails to sanitize embedded shell instructions within the database schema, piping or re-importing the recovered output into the command-line shell executes operating system commands with the privileges of the running user.
