It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

  - Redis before 8.8.0, in the unusual case where an authenticated
    attacker can execute RESTORE, allows remote code execution via a
    RESTORE payload where the same NACK (pending entry) is referenced
    by more than one consumer, because deleting both consumers via
    XGROUP DELCONSUMER leads to a double free. NOTE: this issue exists
    because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-25243.

only on the application's self-reported version number.");
