Technical details
A protocol injection vulnerability exists in Valkey's Lua scripting engine due to improper handling of null characters within error handling code. An authenticated attacker with permissions to execute Lua scripts can use the 'error_reply' function to inject arbitrary RESP (Redis Serialization Protocol) sequences into the client's response stream. This can result in response splitting, where a single request generates multiple responses, potentially leading to data tampering or cache poisoning for other users on the same connection. The vulnerability is caused by the improper neutralization of special elements (CWE-74) and improper null termination (CWE-170). Patches are available in versions 7.2.12, 8.0.7, 8.1.6, and 9.0.2.
