Critical Redis Flaw 'RediShell' Exposes 60,000 Servers
🚨 Redis has a critical, decade‑old vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-49844 (RediShell) in its embedded Lua scripting engine that can let authenticated users escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the host. Researchers at Wiz report roughly 330,000 Redis instances are exposed online, with about 60,000 lacking authentication. Redis and Wiz disclosed the issue on October 3 and published patches; administrators should apply updates, restrict access, and disable Lua scripting if not required.
