SQLite 3.25.2, when queries are run on a table with a malformed PRIMARY KEY, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) by leveraging the ability to run arbitrary SQL statements (such as in certain WebSQL use cases).

- MitigationAbility Camera Connectabb_psirt
This vulnerability is classified as CWE-89 (SQL Injection) in NVD, but exploitation still requires SQL execution paths that are not exposed in normal Camera Connect operation: - Database Schema Validation: Camera Connect's database schema is established during installation and vali-dated through testing. A malformed PRIMARY KEY would be detected during development and corrected be-fore deployment. - DDL Access: Creating or modifying PRIMARY KEY constraints requires database administrative privileges and DDL (Data Definition Language) access, which is not available to normal Camera Connect users. - SQL Injection Controls: Camera Connect uses parameterized queries and controlled query templates, which significantly reduce the likelihood of user-controlled SQL construction required for SQL injection exploitation. - Denial of Service Impact: The vulnerability leads to application crash rather than data breach or code execution. Industrial environments include application monitoring and automatic restart capabilities to maintain service availability. - Static Schema: Camera Connect's database schema remains static throughout operational use, with PRIMARY KEY definitions established and validated during initial installation. The combination of SQL injection controls, restricted DDL access, and static schema management makes this vulnerability low risk in properly deployed Camera Connect systems.
