AI-suggested
Until an official fix is available, users should consider mitigating exposure to untrusted Redis endpoints or implement protective measures such as input validation or process supervision to recover from crashes.
Description
redis-parser through 3.0.0 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the RESP protocol parser that allows malicious Redis endpoints to crash the client process through unbounded recursion on nested arrays. Attackers can send crafted RESP byte streams with repeated array headers that exhaust the V8 call stack, causing an uncaught RangeError that terminates the Node.js process without triggering error handling callbacks.
