Summary
Vulnerability reported (CVE-2026-93572). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via RedisArrayAggregator.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
RedisArrayAggregator recently added maxElements and maxNestedArrayDepth limits to fix public Redis resource-exhaustion advisories. The limits are independent, but the allocator remains eager: every positive nested RESP array header creates new ArrayList(length) before any child element exists.
With the default constructor, an attacker can send nested array headers with length 1,000,000 until the default nesting limit of 1024 is reached. This can reserve up to 1,024,000,000 child slots from roughly 12 KB of RESP input. This is backing capacity, not logical list size: ArrayList(int) constructs an empty list with the specified initial capacity.
Technical Details
Current decodeRedisArrayHeader(...) checks the two limits independently:
if (header.length() > maxElements) {
throw new CodecException("this codec doesn't support longer length than " + maxElements);
}
if (depths.size() >= maxNestedArrayDepth) {
releaseAndClearDepths();
throw new CodecException("max nested array depth exceeded: " + maxNestedArrayDepth);
}
depths.push(new AggregateState((int) header.length()));

CVE-2026-93572 — CWE-770 / CVSS v3 7.5
Attack vector: remote (network-reachable) / unauthenticated / no user interaction
Attack surface: RedisArrayAggregator / maxElements / maxNestedArrayDepth / AggregateState
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (CWE-770) has been reported. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via RedisArrayAggregator without authentication.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions. Attack surface: RedisArrayAggregator / maxElements / maxNestedArrayDepth / AggregateState.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.5/10). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.
