CVE-2025-29923Network attack vector

Incorrect command results via ignored SETINFO timeout

Published Mar 20, 2025 · Updated Sep 2, 2026

Improper input validation in Redis go-redis allows remote attackers to cause application commands to receive incorrect Redis responses. During baseClient.initConn, the CLIENT SETINFO pipeline ignores a non-Redis timeout error and leaves its unread reply queued for a later command. Reachability requires identity transmission and a SETINFO timeout from connectivity problems or aggressive deadlines; sticky connections and pipelines can then misassociate responses persistently.
