Heap-based Buffer Overflow in sqlite-vec

CVE-2024-46488GHSA-vrcx-gx3g-j3h8

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (sqlite-vec 0.1.3; sqlite-vec 0.1.3; sqlite-vec 0.1.3; sqlite-vec 0.1.3), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-46488

Advisory: Heap-based Buffer Overflow in sqlite-vec
IDs: CVE-2024-46488, GHSA-vrcx-gx3g-j3h8
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-46488 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 12:31 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.8)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: sqlite-vec 0.1.3; sqlite-vec 0.1.3; sqlite-vec 0.1.3; sqlite-vec 0.1.3. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- PyPI sqlite-vec: affected < 0.1.3; fixed in 0.1.3
- RubyGems sqlite-vec: affected < 0.1.3; fixed in 0.1.3
- npm sqlite-vec: affected < 0.1.3; fixed in 0.1.3
- crates.io sqlite-vec: affected < 0.1.3; fixed in 0.1.3

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `python -m pip show sqlite-vec`: prints the installed version. Run with the environment that serves production active.
- RubyGems sqlite-vec: check the installed version with your package manager.
- `npm ls sqlite-vec --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.
- crates.io sqlite-vec: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on sqlite-vec.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
