CVE-2025-71316 CRITICAL POC PATCH Act Now

Arbitrary DLL loading in SQLite's sqldiff.exe utility on Windows allows attackers to achieve code execution by abusing the Microsoft C runtime's Unicode-to-ANSI Best-Fit character conversion. Specially crafted Unicode characters in command-line arguments can be transformed into ASCII characters that sqldiff then parses as the '-L' option, loading an attacker-supplied DLL. Publicly available exploit research (Blackhat EU 2024 'WorstFit' presentation) demonstrates the technique, though no public exploit identified targeting sqldiff specifically and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
