Summary

Redis with Lua scripting enabled contains a use-after-free vulnerability in the master-replica synchronization mechanism. An authenticated attacker can exploit replicas with replica-read-only disabled to achieve remote code execution.

Risk Assessment

The risk for the organization includes potential takeover of Redis replicas, leading to data breaches, service disruption, or lateral movement within the infrastructure.

Recommendation

Immediately upgrade Redis to version 8.6.3 or later. As a workaround, block users from executing Lua scripts and ensure replicas have replica-read-only enabled.

Original NVD description (English source)

Redis is an in-memory data structure store. In all versions of redis-server with Lua scripting, an authenticated attacker can exploit the master-replica synchronization mechanism to trigger a use-after-free on replicas where replica-read-only is disabled or can be disabled, which may lead to remote code execution. A workaround is to prevent users from executing Lua scripts or avoid using replicas where replica-read-only is disabled. This is patched in version 8.6.3.
