Comment on Redis CVE-2025-49844: Use-After-Free may lead to remote code execution

Comments

Note that this requires an authenticated user, so most redis installations are not directly at risk.

The github issue has these workarounds: > An additional workaround to mitigate the problem without patching the redis-server executable is to prevent users from executing Lua scripts. This can be done using ACL to restrict EVAL and EVALSHA commands.

I guess most people doesn't use the lua engine, so this is probably a good advice to disable even if upgrading to a non-vuln version of Redis.

I'd like to see stats about that. Lua scripts in Redis are one of its most useful feature
