"The version of SQLite installed on the remote host is prior to 3.50.3. It is, therefore, affected
by a integer overflow vulnerability as referenced in GHSA-v2c8-vqqp-hv3g advisory.

  - An integer overflow exists in the FTS5 https://sqlite.org/fts5.html  extension. It occurs when the size 
    of an array of tombstone pointers is calculated and truncated into a 32-bit integer. A pointer to 
    partially controlled data can then be written out of bounds. (CVE-2025-7709)

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