CVE-2026-7826

CriticalCVSS 9.1
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A vulnerability in FalkorDB before 4.18.4 causes a heap-based out-of-bounds read in the BufferSerializerIOv2_ReadBuffer function. A remote attacker who can issue Redis replication commands (e.g., against an instance with no password) can send a crafted RDB stream with a sub-buffer length field exceeding the remaining buffer size. The only bounds check is an ASSERT(), which is compiled out in release builds, so memcpy() reads past the end of the heap allocation.

Risk Assessment

The attack can lead to denial of service or disclosure of heap memory, potentially exposing sensitive data. Organizations may face service disruption or information leakage.

Recommendation

Update FalkorDB to version 4.18.4 or later. Additionally, configure Redis authentication to restrict replication command access.

Original NVD description (English source)

A heap-based out-of-bounds read in the BufferSerializerIOv2_ReadBuffer function (src/serializers/serializer_io.c) in FalkorDB before 4.18.4 allows a remote attacker who can issue Redis replication commands (for example, against an instance with no password configured) to cause a denial of service or disclose heap memory by supplying a crafted RDB stream whose sub-buffer length field exceeds the remaining buffer size. The only bounds check is an ASSERT(), which is compiled out in release builds, so memcpy() reads past the end of the heap allocation.
