High CVSS 7.1
CVE-2026-72568
NVD analysis in progress
An out-of-bounds read vulnerability in Redis through 8.8.1 allows an adjacent unauthenticated attacker to cause denial of service or information disclosure by sending a specially crafted PING message to the Redis Cluster Bus port.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable from the adjacent network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read some data and take the service offline.
- Weakness
- An out-of-bounds read exposes adjacent memory, often leftover secrets.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
What to doFold into the next patch cycle.
