How to Fix GHSA-q89g-4vhh-mvvm

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Rusqlite dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

rusqlite fixed: 0.26.2 
Upgrade rusqlite to 0.26.2
rusqlite fixed: 0.25.4 
Upgrade rusqlite to 0.25.4
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for rusqlite

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-q89g-4vhh-mvvm, inspect your project dependencies for Rusqlite:

inspect dependencies for rusqlite

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Rusqlite in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.26.2), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under General Security Weakness. In Rusqlite, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

The lifetime bound on several closure-accepting `rusqlite` functions (specifically, functions which register a callback to be later invoked by SQLite) was too relaxed. If a closure referencing borrowed values on the stack is was passed to one of these functions, it could allow Rust code to access objects on the stack after they have been dropped. The impacted functions are: - Under `cfg(feature = "functions")`: `Connection::create_scalar_function`, `Connection::create_aggregate_function` and `Connection::create_window_function`. - Under `cfg(feature = "hooks")`: `Connection::commit_hook`, `Connection::rollback_hook` and `Connection::update_hook`. - Under `cfg(feature = "collation")`: `Connection::create_collation`. The issue exists in all `0.25.*` versions prior to `0.25.4`, and all `0.26.*` versions prior to 0.26.2 (specifically: `0.25.0`, `0.25.1`, `0.25.2`, `0.25.3`, `0.26.0`, and `0.26.1`). The fix is available in versions `0.26.2` and newer, and also has been back-ported to `0.25.4`. As it does not exist in `0.24.*`, all affected versions should have an upgrade path to a semver-compatible release.
