How the CVE Works:
The vulnerability CVE-2025-XXXX affects versions of the Ray package prior to 2.43.0. It involves the unintended logging of sensitive information, specifically the Redis password, into standard log files. This occurs when the Redis password is passed as an argument during the execution of Ray, and logging is enabled. If Redis is configured to use password authentication and the logs are accessible to an attacker, the Redis password could be leaked. This vulnerability is exploitable only under specific conditions: logging must be enabled, Redis must use password authentication, and the logs must be accessible to an attacker who can reach the Redis instance. The recommended mitigation is to update to Ray version 2.43.0 or later and rotate the Redis password.

Severity: Moderate
Date: Mar 6, 2025
(End of form)
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
- Access Logs: Attacker gains access to log files containing Redis password.
- Extract Password: Retrieve the Redis password from the logs.
- Exploit Redis: Use the password to gain unauthorized access to the Redis instance.
Protection:
- Update Ray: Upgrade to Ray version 2.43.0 or later.
- Rotate Password: Change the Redis password after updating.
- Restrict Log Access: Ensure log files are not accessible to unauthorized users.
- Disable Debug Logging: Avoid enabling debug logging in production environments.
Commands:
1. Update Ray:
pip install --upgrade ray==2.43.0
2. Rotate Redis Password:
redis-cli -a old_password CONFIG SET requirepass new_password
3. Check Log Permissions:
ls -l /var/log/ray/
Code Snippets:
1. Disable Debug Logging in Ray:
import ray ray.init(logging_level="WARNING")
2. Secure Redis Configuration:
echo "requirepass your_secure_password" >> /etc/redis/redis.conf systemctl restart redis
By following these steps, users can mitigate the risk associated with CVE-2025-XXXX and secure their Ray and Redis deployments.
