Redis listens on all network interfaces but no password or ACL is configured. Anyone who can reach the port can read and change all data and, through CONFIG/MODULE commands, often run code on the host.

Category: SECURITY · Engine rule severity: WARNING

How to fix it

Bind Redis to 127.0.0.1 or a private interface and configure authentication (requirepass or ACL users via aclfile), with the password supplied from a secret store.
