GHSA-jqv5-7xpx-qj74

sqlite vulnerable to code execution due to Object coercion

Quick fix

GHSA-jqv5-7xpx-qj74 — sqlite3: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

npm install sqlite3@5.1.5

Details

### 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.
