CVE-2023-41053
Redis SORT_RO may bypass ACL configuration
Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. Redis does not correctly identify keys accessed by SORT_RO and as a result may grant users executing this command access to keys that are not explicitly authorized by the ACL configuration. The problem exists in Redis 7.0 or newer and has been fixed in Redis 7.0.13 and 7.2.1. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Moderate: redis:7 security update
Redis is an advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data-structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets, and sorted sets. For performance, Redis works with an in-memory data set. You can persist it either by dumping the data set to disk every once in a while, or by appending each command to a log.
Security Fix(es):
- redis: Redis SORT_RO may bypass ACL configuration (CVE-2023-41053)
- redis: possible bypass of Unix socket permissions on startup (CVE-2023-45145)
- redis: Denial-of-service due to malformed ACL selectors in Redis (CVE-2024-31227)
- redis: Lua library commands may lead to stack overflow and RCE in Redis (CVE-2024-31449)
- redis: Denial-of-service due to unbounded pattern matching in Redis (CVE-2024-31228)
