Redis Credentials

Description

General

Documentation: https://redis.io/documentation
Summary: Redis is a distributed in-memory key-value database. These detectors aim at catching Redis credentials consisting of a host, port, username and password in a connection URI string, in an assignment form or in a CLI command.
IPs allowlist: IP allowlisting can and should be implemented on the server hosting the Redis instance. Refer to this security documentation for more details.
Scopes: By default Redis does not implement Access Control. Yet, an authorization layer can be set when configuring Redis. Since Redis 6, a real Access Control List can be set to attribute different scopes to different users. Before this, a single password gave full access to the database. See this ACL documentation for more details on the topic.

Revoke the secret

Redis supports the DELUSER command to both delete the specified users and terminate all their connections.

Check for suspicious activity

Suspicious activity can be detected by auditing Redis log files.
