+
+| Field       | Value |
+|-------------|-------|
+| CWE         | CWE-407 Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity |
+| Severity    | LOW-MEDIUM |
+| Component   | `src/server/cluster/cluster_config.cc:394` |

+
+## Defect
+
+`GetMissingMigrations` computes the set difference of two `std::vector<MigrationInfo>`
+using a nested loop + `std::find`:
+
+```cpp
+// cluster_config.cc:394
+static std::vector<MigrationInfo> GetMissingMigrations(
+    const std::vector<MigrationInfo>& haystack,
+    const std::vector<MigrationInfo>& needle) {
+  std::vector<MigrationInfo> res;
+  for (const auto& h : haystack) {                              // O(M)
+    if (find(needle.begin(), needle.end(), h) == needle.end()) { // O(M × R)
+      res.push_back(h);
+    }
+  }
+  return res;
+}
+```
+
+`MigrationInfo::operator==` compares `node_info` (string) + `slot_ranges`
+(vector comparison O(R)). Total: **O(M² × R)** per call × 4 call sites per config update.
+
+Called by:
+- `GetNewOutgoingMigrations`
+- `GetNewIncomingMigrations`
+- `GetFinishedOutgoingMigrations`
+- `GetFinishedIncomingMigrations`
+
+**Note:** Current deployments use M < 10, so practical impact is low. However the
+API is O(M²) by design and becomes a bottleneck if Dragonfly supports large-scale
+automated shard rebalancing (M = hundreds).
+
+## Fix
+
+Sort both vectors on `node_info.id` (already has `operator<`), then use
+`std::set_difference` → O(M log M):
+
+```cpp
+static std::vector<MigrationInfo> GetMissingMigrations(
+    std::vector<MigrationInfo> haystack,   // by value — will sort
+    std::vector<MigrationInfo> needle) {
+  std::sort(haystack.begin(), haystack.end());
+  std::sort(needle.begin(), needle.end());
+  std::vector<MigrationInfo> res;
+  std::set_difference(haystack.begin(), haystack.end(),
+                       needle.begin(), needle.end(),
+                       std::back_inserter(res));
+  return res;
+}
+```
+
+Or: build `absl::flat_hash_set<string>` keyed on `node_info.id` from `needle`,
+check in O(1) per haystack entry → O(M) total.

+# Memcached CWE-407 Scan — CLEAN
+
+**Scan date:** 2026-03-28
+
+## Findings
+
+- `assoc.c:70` `assoc_find()` — hash bucket walk O(chain length). Hash pre-computed
+  by caller, averages O(1). Not called in nested loops.
+- `items.c` eviction loop — LRU tail walk bounded at `tries=5`. Not quadratic.
+- `crawler.c` — LRU crawler calls `assoc_find()` once per item with pre-computed hash.
+- `thread.c` — connection queue uses `STAILQ` push/pop, no membership scan.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+Memcached uses pre-hashed keys throughout. No CWE-407 defects found.

+# redis-0004: ACLCheckChannelAgainstList O(C×P) per pubsub command → O(C)
+
+## Classification

+|-------------|-------|
+| CWE         | CWE-407 Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity |
+| Severity    | HIGH |
+| Component   | `src/acl.c:1652,1694,1826` |

+| Status      | PATCHED (unit test PASS) |
+
+## Defect
+
+`ACLSelectorCheckCmd` iterates over C channel arguments in the command and for each
+calls `ACLCheckChannelAgainstList` which walks the entire `selector->channels` linked
+list (P patterns) using `stringmatchlen` for each:
+
+```c
+// acl.c:1694 — ACLSelectorCheckCmd
+for (j = 0; j < cmd->arity; j++) {
+    if (cmd->flags & CMD_PUBSUB_CHANNEL_ARG) {
+        // ACLCheckChannelAgainstList: O(P) linked-list walk
+        if (ACLCheckChannelAgainstList(selector->channels,
+                                        channel_name, ...) == ACL_DENIED)
+            return ACL_DENIED;
+    }
+}
+
+// acl.c:1652 — ACLCheckChannelAgainstList
+while ((ln = listNext(&li)) != NULL) {  // O(P) walk
+    sds pattern = listNodeValue(ln);
+    if (stringmatchlen(pattern, sdslen(pattern), channel, ...)) return ACL_OK;
+}
+```
+
+`ACLUserCheckChannelPerm` (line 1826) adds an outer loop over S selectors:
+total **O(S × C × P)** per pubsub command.
+
+**Impact:** A user with 1,000 channel patterns calling `SUBSCRIBE ch1 ch2 … ch100`
+triggers 100,000 `stringmatchlen` calls per command, per client, per second.
+
+## Fix
+
+Replace `selector->channels` linked list with a dict (hash map) for exact patterns,
+keeping the linked list only for glob patterns. Exact match becomes O(1) dict lookup;
+glob patterns (rare) remain O(P_glob) with P_glob << P total.
+
+For the common case of exact channel names (no wildcards), a `dict *channels_exact`
+alongside `list *channels_glob` reduces the hot path to O(C + P_glob) per command.
+
+## Speedup
+
+| P (channel patterns) | C (channels/cmd) | Slow O(C×P) | Fast O(C) | Ratio |
