CVE-2025-49844 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
This was deemed not a vulnerability.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use After Free. An attacker can gain control over freed memory and execute arbitrary code within the server process by submitting specially crafted scripts via standard commands. This can compromise all in-memory data, session tokens, and application state.
Note:
This is only exploitable if the attacker is authenticated and has permission to execute Lua scripts.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by restricting or disabling Lua scripting using ACLs to block EVAL and EVALSHA commands, limiting access to trusted hosts, enforcing strong authentication, and following Redis hardening guidance.
