    Redis is an open source, in-memory database that persists on disk. Versions 8.2.1 and below allow an

    Redis is an open source, in-memory database that persists on disk. Versions 8.2.1 and below allow an
    authenticated user to use a specially crafted Lua script to manipulate different LUA objects and
    potentially run their own code in the context of another user. The problem exists in all versions of Redis
    with LUA scripting. This issue is fixed in version 8.2.2. A 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 block a script by restricting both the EVAL and FUNCTION command families. (CVE-2025-46818)
