Is sqlite3_analyzer safe?

Verdict
Suspicious

No antivirus engine detected this unsigned Mach-O, but an uncorroborated process-injection mapping and incompletely checked direct-IP traffic warrant caution.

All 74 antivirus engines were silent, including 16 tier-1 engines, and no curated threat-intelligence source identified the sample. However, one sandbox mapped activity to process injection and recorded multiple direct-IP contacts whose reputations were not comprehensively checked, so execution should be limited to an isolated environment pending provenance verification.

Do not run it until verified

Obtain this utility from SQLite's official release channel and verify its published hash if available. Keep endpoint protection enabled; otherwise, run it only in a disposable isolated environment.

01

Before running

Do not run it until the source and publisher can be verified independently.

02

If you already ran it

Stop using it, scan the device, and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts. Get a fresh copy from the developer's official site or an official app store.

Analyst conclusion

All 74 antivirus engines were silent, including 16 tier-1 engines, and no curated threat-intelligence source identified the sample. However, one sandbox mapped activity to process injection and recorded multiple direct-IP contacts whose reputations were not comprehensively checked, so execution should be limited to an isolated environment pending provenance verification.

Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
  • The MalwareTips.Synth.ProcessInjection heuristic maps runtime evidence to T1055, an offensive technique that merits caution despite having no malicious sandbox verdict.
  • The MalwareTips.Synth.DirectIpC2 heuristic cites direct connections including 23.48.162.139, 72.21.91.29, and 172.64.149.23, but the saved host cross-check inspected only one host.
  • signing.signed=false for an executable file type where signing is applicable, leaving no publisher identity or signer history.
  • droppedChildren.rollup reports one unknown child, so the absence of a confirmed malicious child does not establish that the child is benign.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

What this file does

Observed actions and their security significance

  • High concern: Injected code into another process, a technique that can conceal execution.

  • Moderate concern: Communicated over a common application protocol; malware can use this for command-and-control.

These are observed capabilities from an isolated analysis. A technique does not prove malicious intent on its own, and the file never ran on your device.

What to do now

We couldn't fully clear this file. Treat it with caution.

  1. Recovery step 01

    Don't run it unless you're certain it came from a source you trust.

  2. Recovery step 02

    Check where you got it — an unexpected attachment or a random download link is a red flag.

  3. Recovery step 03

    If its origin cannot be confirmed, delete this file and use a fresh copy from a trusted source. Get a fresh copy from the developer's official site or an official app store.

  4. Recovery step 04

    If you're still unsure, scan it again in a day or two — detections often catch up on newer files.

7 evidence-based answers
Is sqlite3_analyzer safe, or is it malware?
Evidence-based answer
sqlite3_analyzer is suspicious — treat it as unsafe until you're sure. No antivirus engine flagged it; the cautious verdict comes from other saved evidence such as identity, prevalence, signing, or runtime signals. Don't run it unless you fully trust where it came from. Get a fresh copy from the developer's official site or an official app store.
What is sqlite3_analyzer?
Evidence-based answer
sqlite3_analyzer is a Windows executable program, about 3 MB. We identify a file by its cryptographic hash rather than its name, because the same filename can be reused by completely different files — the hash below is the reliable fingerprint.
How many antivirus engines detected sqlite3_analyzer?
Evidence-based answer
None — 0 of 74 antivirus engines flagged sqlite3_analyzer. That's reassuring, though it is not proof that a file is safe, so we also weigh its behaviour, identity, and reputation.
What should I do if I already ran sqlite3_analyzer?
Evidence-based answer
Act quickly. 1) Disconnect the device from the internet to stop the malware communicating or spreading. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software (such as Malwarebytes) and quarantine everything it finds. 3) Change your important passwords from a DIFFERENT, clean device — many threats log keystrokes or steal saved credentials. 4) If you bank or shop on this device, watch closely for fraud and alert your bank. 5) For a confirmed infection, the most reliable fix is to back up your personal files and reinstall the operating system for a clean start.
How do I remove sqlite3_analyzer?
Evidence-based answer
To remove sqlite3_analyzer: 1) restart into Safe Mode (Safe Mode with Networking if you need to download a tool) so the malware doesn't auto-start. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software and let it quarantine or delete the detections. 3) Delete this file from the device, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash. 4) Check your browser extensions, startup items, and scheduled tasks for anything unfamiliar. 5) Reboot and scan again to confirm it's gone. If detections keep coming back, a clean operating-system reinstall is the most dependable cure.
What is the SHA-256 hash of sqlite3_analyzer?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of sqlite3_analyzer is 4347a8d95562a29626360f7b4f4a9db97a6107624879a33cdfff181280eb1939, and its MD5 is 921717a888d6d5f01f77fc4a1d05d22e. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
How up to date is this analysis of sqlite3_analyzer?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on September 22, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of sqlite3_analyzer is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
