Redis < 8.8.0 RCE via RESTORE Double Free (CVE-2026-66373)

high Nessus Plugin ID 331358

Synopsis

The remote Redis server is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of Redis installed on the remote host is prior to 8.8.0.
It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

 - Redis before 8.8.0, in the unusual case where an authenticated attacker can execute RESTORE, allows remote code execution via a RESTORE payload where the same NACK (pending entry) is referenced by more than one consumer, because deleting both consumers via XGROUP DELCONSUMER leads to a double free. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-25243.
 (CVE-2026-66373)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update to Redis 8.8.0 or later.
