Network-reachable command with trivial crafted input triggers a reachable assertion crashing the process; availability-only, and PR:N holds only for unauthenticated Redis endpoints.

Improper error handling in the GRAPH.EFFECT component (/effects/effects_apply.c) of FalkorDB (Redis module) v4.20.1 leads to a Denial of Service (DoS) within the application.
Articles & Coverage 1
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in FalkorDB v4.20.1, the Redis-module graph database, where the GRAPH.EFFECT replication handler in src/effects/effects_apply.c enforced graph-state assumptions with ASSERT() calls instead of proper error handling. Remote attackers who can reach the Redis endpoint and issue GRAPH.EFFECT with an effects buffer referencing a node ID or label schema that does not exist locally trip a reachable assertion and crash the process (CVSS 3.1 7.5, AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), with impact confined to availability and no data disclosure or integrity effect. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires the ability to send the GRAPH.EFFECT command to a FalkorDB v4.20.1 (Redis module) instance with an effects buffer referencing graph state - a node ID or label schema - not present locally, which trips an ASSERT and crashes the process. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, 7.5) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated availability-only impact, which is fully consistent with the source evidence: the GRAPH.EFFECT handler in effects_apply.c used ASSERT() statements (e.g. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upstream fix available (PR/commit); released patched version not independently confirmed - the correction is contained in commit 17cb1f8f0 and PR #2247 (https://github.com/FalkorDB/FalkorDB/pull/2247), which replaces the crash-inducing ASSERT() calls in effects_apply.c with explicit error returns and wires the caller to report 'ERR graph diverged from master' via DivergenceGuard. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify all FalkorDB v4.20.1 deployments and their Redis endpoints, restrict network access via firewall, security group, or VPC ACL rules to trusted application hosts only, require Redis AUTH and least-privilege ACLs, disable or block GRAPH.EFFECT if not operationally required, and monitor for crashes or restart loops. …
