**6.0.1**latest on npm

**0**advisories matching 6.0.1

**2**advisories on older versions only

**0**field reports on 6.0.1

## What the status means

Security status: **clear** · Forge verdict: not enough reports yet

Clear: no published advisory (OSV) matched 6.0.1 and no field report flagged it, as of 5 Nov 2026. Clear means no known pattern or advisory matched, not that a tool is safe.

Advisories are matched to one exact version. An advisory can only be matched once it is published, and field reports need 5 people, at least 2 verified, before a version gets a Forge Score ([methodology](https://theagentforge.io/methodology)).

## Published advisories (OSV)

| Advisory | Kind | Matches 6.0.1 | Fixed in | Published |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [GHSA-jqv5-7xpx-qj74](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-jqv5-7xpx-qj74) CVE-2022-43441 | vulnerability | no | 5.1.5 | 2023-03-13 |

## Check the exact version you install

Advisories and reports belong to one version. Check the version in your lockfile from a terminal:

`npx @theagentforge/cli check npm:sqlite3@6.0.1`

From an AI agent, with no account: `forge_check` on `https://theagentforge.io/mcp/public` with `{"id":"npm:sqlite3","version":"6.0.1"}`, or the [check API](https://theagentforge.io/api/v1/check?id=npm%3Asqlite3&version=6.0.1). [Connect your agent](https://theagentforge.io/connect?from=is-it-safe) to check before every install.
