Is sqlite3.exe safe?
No antivirus engine detected a threat in this Mach-O executable, although its unsigned status and lack of runtime observation modestly limit assurance.
All 74 antivirus engines were free of malicious or suspicious detections, including 16 tier-1 engines reporting no detection. The sample is unsigned and was not observed in a completed sandbox run, so its source should still be verified before execution.

Before running
Run it only when it came from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
If you already ran it
Keep normal device protection enabled and stop if the file behaves unexpectedly.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 74 antivirus engines were free of malicious or suspicious detections, including 16 tier-1 engines reporting no detection. The sample is unsigned and was not observed in a completed sandbox run, so its source should still be verified before execution.
The strongest evidence is complete detection silence: 0 of 74 engines flagged the sample, and no tier-1 engine identified malware. Research feeds supplied no YARA rules, known-malware record, or family attribution for this hash. No brand conflict, heuristic alert, malicious child, or confirmed hacktool label was present. However, the Mach-O executable is unsigned, and its limited submission history does not independently establish provenance. No completed runtime observation or complete contacted-host reputation result is available, so the conclusion rests primarily on static scanning evidence.
What We Detected
None of the 74 antivirus engines reported a malicious or suspicious result. Sixteen tier-1 engines reported no detection, including Avast, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Kaspersky, and Microsoft. External research checks also returned no matching YARA rules or known-malware record.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox run is available, so runtime activity was not observed. A complete reputation check of contacted hosts is also unavailable. The file is an unsigned 64-bit Mach-O executable, which prevents certificate-based verification of its publisher but does not itself establish harmful behavior.
What To Do Now
Obtain the file from the official SQLite distribution channel and verify its published checksum when possible. Keep endpoint protection enabled and avoid running the file if its origin or expected platform does not match your download source.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- signing.applicable=true while signing.signed=false, so no publisher certificate establishes the file's origin.
- Only 2 submissions from 2 sources are recorded, providing limited prevalence evidence.
- No completed sandbox observation or host-reputation cross-check is available.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/74 engines reported malicious or suspicious findings
- 16 tier-1 engines reported no detection
- No YARAify, MalwareBazaar, or CIRCL hit
- No brand mismatch or triggered heuristic
- No confirmed hacktool label or malware-family consensus
- Unsigned executable with no verified publisher identity
- No completed runtime observation
- No complete contacted-host reputation result
- Limited prevalence history with 2 submissions from 2 sources
Use the file only if it came from the official SQLite release channel and its checksum matches the publisher's release information. Keep endpoint protection enabled during any use.

What to do now
This file appears low risk based on the evidence available now.
- Recovery step 01
Run it only when it came from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
- Recovery step 02
A clean result reduces known risk, but it cannot guarantee that every new or targeted threat has been detected.
- Recovery step 03
Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on so you stay protected.
