Google AI “Big Sleep” Identifies Critical SQLite Vulnerability Before Hackers Can Exploit It

July 16, 2025
AI Security / Vulnerability

Google announced on Tuesday that its language model-assisted vulnerability detection system successfully identified a security flaw in the SQLite open-source database engine, preventing potential exploitation. The vulnerability, designated CVE-2025-6965 (CVSS score: 7.2), is a memory corruption issue affecting all versions prior to 3.50.2. Discovered by “Big Sleep,” an AI agent developed through a collaboration between DeepMind and Google Project Zero, this flaw allows for potential attacks through arbitrary SQL statements, leading to integer overflow risks. SQLite maintainers cautioned that this critical security issue was previously known only to threat actors. Google has not disclosed the identities of these actors but emphasized the urgency of addressing the vulnerability.

Alert: Over 2,000 Palo Alto Networks Devices Compromised in Ongoing Cyber Attack Campaign

As of November 21, 2024, an estimated 2,000 devices from Palo Alto Networks have been compromised due to a campaign exploiting newly disclosed security vulnerabilities. According to data from the Shadowserver Foundation, the majority of incidents have been reported in the U.S. (554) and India (461), with additional cases in Thailand (80), Mexico (48), Indonesia (43), Turkey (41), the U.K. (39), Peru (36), and South Africa (35).

Earlier this week, Censys reported identifying 13,324 publicly exposed next-generation firewall management interfaces, with 34% of these exposures located in the U.S. However, it is crucial to note that not all exposed hosts are necessarily vulnerable. The vulnerabilities, CVE-2024-0012 (CVSS score: 9.3) and CVE-2024-9474 (CVSS score: 6.9), involve authentication bypass and privilege escalation, potentially enabling attackers to carry out malicious actions.

Browser Security / Zero-Day

On Tuesday, Google released a significant update for its Chrome web browser, addressing six security vulnerabilities, including a high-severity flaw that is currently being exploited in the wild. The vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-6558 (CVSS score: 8.8), involves inadequate validation of untrusted input within the browser’s ANGLE and GPU components. According to the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD), “Insufficient validation of untrusted input in ANGLE and GPU in Google Chrome prior to version 138.0.7204.157 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a specially crafted HTML page.” ANGLE, which stands for “Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine,” serves as a bridge between Chrome’s rendering engine and the device’s graphics drivers. Exploits in this module can enable attackers to bypass Chrome’s sandbox, allowing them to manipulate low-level GPU operations typically confined within the browser, making this vulnerability particularly concerning.

Urgent: Critical Chrome Update Released by Google to Address CVE-2025-6558 Exploit On July 16, 2025, Google announced significant updates to its Chrome web browser, patching six security vulnerabilities, one of which is particularly concerning as it has already been exploited…
