⚠️ Redis disclosed a maximum-severity vulnerability, CVE-2025-49844 (RediShell), a use-after-free bug in its Lua scripting implementation that has been assigned a CVSS score of 10.0. An authenticated user can submit crafted Lua scripts to manipulate the garbage collector, trigger a use-after-free, and potentially achieve remote code execution on the host. The issue affects all Redis versions with Lua and was fixed in 6.2.20, 7.2.11, 7.4.6, 8.0.4, and 8.2.2 (released Oct 3, 2025). Administrators should immediately restrict EVAL/EVALSHA via ACLs, avoid exposing Redis instances to the internet, enforce strong authentication, and apply the patches without delay.
