## Threat actors targeting redis

Named threat actors attributed to campaigns that involve redis products or CVEs, with the number of linked campaigns:

- [PCPJack](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/actor/PCPJack) — 1 campaign

## How to prioritise redis patching

This order follows the data Threadlinqs holds for redis, not a generic severity checklist:

- 1 of 7 redis CVEs (14%) are in CISA KEV: treat them as actively exploited and remediate them first, starting with [CVE-2022-0543](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2022-0543).
- 1 CVE is known to be used in ransomware campaigns; patch these ahead of other KEV entries on internet-facing systems.
- Outside KEV, the highest EPSS scores are [CVE-2025-49844](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2025-49844) (82.3%), [CVE-2025-62507](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2025-62507) (6.8%), [CVE-2026-25243](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2026-25243) (3.7%).
- 3 CVEs score Critical and 4 High on CVSS v3 (maximum 10, average 9.1); sequence these after KEV and high-EPSS items.
- 6 CVEs have a public exploit or proof of concept recorded, which shortens the time from disclosure to attack.

## About this data

Vendor attribution comes from the CNA and CPE product records of each CVE, folded to one vendor name; CVSS, EPSS and KEV status are read from the Threadlinqs CVE catalog; campaign and actor links come from tracked threat records. Counts reflect the data as of 2026-10-10 and refresh daily.
