Note that this requires an authenticated user, so most redis installations are not directly at risk.

The github issue has these workarounds: > An additional workaround to mitigate the problem without patching the redis-server executable is to prevent users from executing Lua scripts. This can be done using ACL to restrict EVAL and EVALSHA commands.
