Description

The Redis instance in Google Cloud Memorystore is not configured with AUTH enabled, meaning it does not require a password for access. This leaves the database open to unauthorized connections.

Impact

Without AUTH enabled, anyone with network access to the Redis instance can read, modify, or delete data, potentially leading to data breaches, service disruption, or unauthorized manipulation of application data.
