sqlite vulnerable to code execution due to Object coercion

Impact

Due to the underlying implementation of .ToString(), it’s possible to execute arbitrary JavaScript, or to achieve a denial-of-service, if a binding parameter is a crafted Object.

Users of sqlite3 v5.0.0 - v5.1.4 are affected by this.

Patches

Fixed in v5.1.5. All users are recommended to upgrade to v5.1.5 or later.

Workarounds

• Ensure there is sufficient sanitization in the parent application to protect against invalid values being supplied to binding parameters.
