CVE-2025-69228: PYSEC-2026-1100 - AIOHTTP vulnerable to denial of service through large payloads

CVE-2025-69228 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-01-06

AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Versions 3.13.2 and below allow a request to be crafted in such a way that an AIOHTTP server's memory fills up uncontrollably during processing. If an application includes a handler that uses the Request.post() method, an attacker may be able to freeze the server by exhausting the memory. This issue is fixed in version 3.13.3.

Technologies: Aiohttp, aiohttp (PyPI). Vendors: Aiohttp, PyPI.
