Where to report

The one public program Valkey runs.

Amounts are the top reward per severity in the currency each program pays. First response is the platform's measured average when it publishes one, else what the policy promises.

What is in scope

15 targets. 6 excluded.

  • https://valkey.io

    Web

  • AUTH, TLS termination, certificate handling and the unix socket path

    Products and areas

  • CONFIG SET, DEBUG and every command that writes to disk, loads code or changes server behaviour at runtime

    Products and areas

  • Every value type and its encodings, including the conversion between compact and full representations for hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, streams and bitmaps

    Products and areas

  • Key expiry, eviction and keyspace notifications, plus the pub/sub implementation and its channel permission checks

    Products and areas

  • RDB and AOF file parsing on load, since a server accepts these from restore, from replication and from a rewrite

    Products and areas

  • Replication end to end, covering the replica handshake, PSYNC, the RDB transfer and the propagation of writes to replicas

    Products and areas

  • SECURITY.md asks for private reports at [email protected] and describes a coordinated process with vendor pre-notification. It sets no boundary narrower than the server the project releases

    Products and areas

  • The ACL subsystem: user definitions, command categories, key patterns, channel patterns, selectors and the evaluation that combines them

    Products and areas

  • The cluster bus protocol, slot assignment, slot migration and the messages nodes exchange about each other

    Products and areas

  • The command dispatch table and the argument parsing of every command in it

    Products and areas

  • The Lua scripting engine and the functions engine, their sandboxes, and every library exposed inside them

    Products and areas

  • The module API and any modules the project ships, including what a loaded module can reach in the server process

    Products and areas

  • The RESP2 and RESP3 protocol parsers, the inline command path and the connection handshake in front of both

    Products and areas

  • The Sentinel implementation and the failover decisions it drives

    Products and areas

No target matches. Try part of a host name, such as the company name.

Out of scope 6

Don't test these. A program can exclude a host another program covers; the program you report to decides.

  • A server deliberately bound to a public interface with no password and no ACLs, which is a configuration decision

  • Client libraries, which are maintained separately

  • ElastiCache, Memorystore and other managed services at the infrastructure level, which are the providers' own assets

  • Redis itself and Redis Ltd's builds, a separate codebase with its own security process and its own paid engagement pathway

  • Resource consumption from commands an authorised user is permitted to run

  • Third-party modules that are not shipped in the Valkey tree

About this page

This page gathers every public program listed under valkey.io: platform programs, self-hosted policies and security.txt contacts. Each program's own policy decides what is in scope and what it pays; check it before you test.
