Description¶

Memcached services without authentication can expose cached data and can be abused when reachable from untrusted networks.

How we test: We attempt unauthenticated Memcached commands and report the issue when the service accepts them without credentials.

Example configuration:

---
security_tests:
  memcached_no_auth:
