GermanyThe open-source in-memory database Redis has released updated versions addressing multiple security vulnerabilities identified by a Chinese AI model called Kimi K3 developed by Moonshot AI. The researcher 'Chaofan Shou' used Kimi K3 to find 19 zero-day vulnerabilities in Redis version 8.8.0 within 90 minutes and provided proof-of-concept (PoC) code demonstrating how these flaws could be exploited. Redis developers confirmed the vulnerabilities and released patches for several versions including 8.8.1, 8.6.5, and others. While the severity ratings and CVE entries are still pending, the availability of PoC code makes exploiting these weaknesses easier. IT administrators are advised to update their Redis installations promptly. Kimi K3's ability to detect vulnerabilities and generate exploit code highlights its growing relevance in cybersecurity, challenging established models like Anthropic's Mythos or OpenAI's Codex Security.
