Description

### Describe the bug

Our vulnerability scanner detected an outdated SQLite library installed with
Azure CLI for Windows:

Path:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\CLI2\sqlite3.dll

Installed file version:
3.50.4.0

Scanner remediation threshold:
3.53.2

The finding appears to correspond to SQLite vulnerabilities fixed upstream in
SQLite 3.53.2, including CVE-2026-11822 and CVE-2026-11824, which affect the
FTS5 extension in builds compiled with SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS5.

Could the Azure CLI team please confirm if whether this is assessed as exploitable in Azure CLI and the planned Azure CLI version/ETA containing SQLite 3.53.2 or later. Thank you.
