Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. In Redit 7.0 prior to 7.0.12, extracting key names from a command and a list of arguments may, in some cases, trigger a heap overflow and result in reading random heap memory, heap corruption and potentially remote code execution. Several scenarios that may lead to authenticated users executing a specially crafted COMMAND GETKEYS or COMMAND GETKEYSANDFLAGSand authenticated users who were set with ACL rules that match key names, executing a specially crafted command that refers to a variadic list of key names. The vulnerability is patched in Redis 7.0.12.
CVE-2023-36824
Score elevated to 8.8 because EPSS predicts 77% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (top 0.5% of all CVEs). NVD baseline CVSS 7.4 retained for reference. Confidence: see factors.
- High exploitation likelihood — EPSS 77%
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
