"The version of SQLite installed on the remote host is 3.44.0 through 3.49.0 before 3.49.1. It is, therefore, affected
by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - In SQLite 3.44.0 through 3.49.0 before 3.49.1, the concat_ws() SQL function can cause memory to be written beyond 
    the end of a malloc-allocated buffer. If the separator argument is attacker-controlled and has a large string 
    (e.g., 2MB or more), an integer overflow occurs in calculating the size of the result buffer, and thus malloc may 
    not allocate enough memory. (CVE-2025-29087)

  - An integer overflow can be triggered in SQLite's `concat_ws()` function. The resulting, truncated integer is then 
    used to allocate a buffer. When SQLite then writes the resulting string to the buffer, it uses the original, 
    untruncated size and thus a wild Heap Buffer overflow of size ~4GB can be triggered. This can result in arbitrary 
    code execution. (CVE-2025-3277)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
