Summary

In Redis versions 8.2.1 and below, an authenticated user can use a specially crafted Lua script to manipulate different LUA objects and potentially run their own code in the context of another user. The problem exists in all Redis versions with Lua scripting. Fixed in version 8.2.2.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated user may execute code in another user's context, potentially breaking isolation and data security.

Recommendation

Update Redis to version 8.2.2 or later; as a workaround, block Lua script execution via ACL (EVAL and FUNCTION command families).

Original NVD description (English source)

Redis is an open source, in-memory database that persists on disk. Versions 8.2.1 and below allow an authenticated user to use a specially crafted Lua script to manipulate different LUA objects and potentially run their own code in the context of another user. The problem exists in all versions of Redis with LUA scripting. This issue is fixed in version 8.2.2. A workaround to mitigate the problem without patching the redis-server executable is to prevent users from executing LUA scripts. This can be done using ACL to block a script by restricting both the EVAL and FUNCTION command families.
