# Security Policy
## Supported Versions
Redis is generally backward compatible with very few exceptions, so we
recommend users to always use the latest version to experience stability,
performance and security.
We generally backport security issues to a single previous major version,
unless this is not possible or feasible with a reasonable effort.
| Version | Supported |
|---------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
| 8.2.x | :white_check_mark: |
| 8.0.x | :white_check_mark: |
| 7.4.x | :white_check_mark: |
| < 7.4.x | :x: |
| 6.2.x | :white_check_mark: Support may be removed after end of 2025 |
| < 6.2.x | :x: |
## Reporting a Vulnerability
If you believe you've discovered a serious vulnerability, please contact the
Redis core team at redis@redis.io. We will evaluate your report and if
necessary issue a fix and an advisory. If the issue was previously undisclosed,
we'll also mention your name in the credits.
## Responsible Disclosure
In some cases, we may apply a responsible disclosure process to reported or
otherwise discovered vulnerabilities. We will usually do that for a critical
vulnerability, and only if we have a good reason to believe information about
it is not yet public.
This process involves providing an early notification about the vulnerability,
its impact and mitigations to a short list of vendors under a time-limited
embargo on public disclosure.
If you believe you should be on the list, please contact us and we will
consider your request based on the above criteria.
## License Compatibility
For security vulnerability patches released under Redis Open Source 7.4 and
thereafter, Redis permits users of earlier versions (7.2 and prior) to access
patches under the BSD3 license noted in REDISCONTRIBUTIONS.txt instead of the
full license requirements described in LICENSE.txt. Security fixes are tested
only against the specific versions for which they are provided. Applicability
or portability to other versions or forks has not been evaluated.
