A type confusion vulnerability in the _read_flags function (src/commands/cmd_dispatcher.c) in FalkorDB before 4.20.0 allows a remote authenticated attacker who can run GRAPH.QUERY to cause a denial of service and possibly disclose or corrupt memory. The function accepts a --bolt argument from any client and casts the following command argument, a Redis string object, to a Bolt client structure without checking its origin; the result-set code then dereferences pointers read from that object. The argument is parsed even when the Bolt endpoint is disabled, so default configurations are affected.

Fixes

Solution

Upgrade FalkorDB to version 4.20.0 or later. Bolt protocol support, including the code affected by this issue, was removed in 4.20.0.


Workaround

Use Redis ACLs to restrict the GRAPH.QUERY command to trusted users, and do not expose the instance to untrusted networks.
