High

Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:N/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Redis versions prior to 3.2.7

Description The issue is related to the networking.c component of the Redis database management system, which lacks a check for POST and Host: strings. This allows for "Cross Protocol Scripting" and can be exploited by a remote attacker using specially crafted requests to access confidential data.

Recommendations For Redis versions prior to 3.2.7, update to version 3.2.7 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Redis TCP port to minimize the risk of exploitation.
