SQL injection via interpolated SQLite3 table names
Published Aug 5, 2025 · Updated Nov 3, 2025
SQL injection in ADOdb before 5.22.10 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL through crafted SQLite3 table names. The SQLite3 driver's metaColumns(), metaForeignKeys(), and metaIndexes() methods interpolate the table parameter into PRAGMA or sqlite_master queries instead of binding it. Exploitation requires an application to use the SQLite3 driver and pass attacker-controlled data to one of those metadata methods; successful injection can read or alter database data and interrupt application operations.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
