Description

Add detection for below Redis vulnerability. https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-0543 https://thehackernews.com/2022/03/muhstik-botnet-targeting-redis-servers.html

This might not be trivial as it has to do with the way Redis loads the Lua interpreter on certain Linux distributions. We might be able to find exploitation evidence in redis logs of cache files.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Analyze the CVE 2022-0543 vulnerability and understand how Redis loads the Lua interpreter on specific Linux distributions. Examine Turbinia's existing Redis analysis task to identify how logs are processed, then implement detection logic for exploitation patterns found in redis logs (e.g., cache file manipulation).
