"The version of redis installed on the remote host is prior to 6.2.14-2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as
referenced in the ALAS2REDIS6-2025-011 advisory.

    Redis is an open source, in-memory database that persists on disk. An authenticated user may use a
    specially crafted Lua script to manipulate the garbage collector and potentially lead to remote code
    execution. The problem is fixed in 7.4.2, 7.2.7, and 6.2.17. 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. (CVE-2024-46981)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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