Redis is an in-memory data structure store. In versions of redis-server up to 8.6.3, the RESTORE command does not properly validate serialized values. An authenticated attacker with permission to execute RESTORE can supply a crafted serialized payload that triggers invalid memory access and may lead to remote code execution. A workaround is to restrict access to the RESTORE command with ACL rules. This is patched in version 8.6.3.

Multiple Vulnerabilities in Redis

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1748 advisory.

    Redis is an in-memory data structure store. In redis-server from 7.2.0 until 8.6.3, the unblock client     flow does not handle an error return from `processCommandAndResetClient` when re-executing a blocked     command. If a blocked client is evicted during this flow, an authenticated attacker can trigger a use-     after-free that may lead to remote code execution. This has been patched in version 8.6.3.
    (CVE-2026-23479)

    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. (CVE-2026-23631)
