Vulnerabilities 9

  • High 7.5

    Denial of service when trying to parse malformed POST requests in aiohttp

    aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. In affected versions an attacker can send a specially crafted POST (multipart/form-data) request. When the aiohttp server processes it, the server will enter an infinite loop and …

  • High 7.2

    aiohttp's ClientSession is vulnerable to CRLF injection via version

    aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Improper validation made it possible for an attacker to modify the HTTP request (e.g. to insert a new header) or create a new HTTP request if the attacker controls the HTTP versio…

  • Medium 6.5

    aiohttp's HTTP parser (the python one, not llhttp) still overly lenient about separators

    aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Security-sensitive parts of the Python HTTP parser retained minor differences in allowable character sets, that must trigger error handling to robustly match frame boundaries of p…

  • Medium 6.3

    aiohttp vulnerable to request smuggling due to incorrect parsing of chunk extensions

    aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Prior to version 3.10.11, the Python parser parses newlines in chunk extensions incorrectly which can lead to request smuggling vulnerabilities under certain conditions. If a pure…

  • Medium 6.1

    aiohttp vulnerable to XSS on index pages for static file handling

    aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. A XSS vulnerability exists on index pages for static file handling. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.9.4. We have always recommended using a reverse proxy server (e.g. nginx) for …

    CVE-2024-23334 Public exploit Scanner template EPSS 77%

    aiohttp.web.static(follow_symlinks=True) is vulnerable to directory traversal

    aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. When using aiohttp as a web server and configuring static routes, it is necessary to specify the root path for static files. Additionally, the option 'follow_symlinks' can be used…

  • Medium 5.3

    Request smuggling in aiohttp

    aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. The HTTP parser in AIOHTTP has numerous problems with header parsing, which could lead to request smuggling. This parser is only used when AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS is enabled (or not…

  • Medium 5.3

    aiohttp's ClientSession is vulnerable to CRLF injection via method

    aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Improper validation makes it possible for an attacker to modify the HTTP request (e.g. insert a new header) or even create a new HTTP request if the attacker controls the HTTP met…

  • Low 3.4

    Inconsistent interpretation of `Content-Length` vs. `Transfer-Encoding` in aiohttp

    aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Affected versions of aiohttp have a security vulnerability regarding the inconsistent interpretation of the http protocol. HTTP/1.1 is a persistent protocol, if both Content-Lengt…
