Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in aio-libs aiohttp up to 3.14.3. This vulnerability affects some unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a resource consumption vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-400. The product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource. As an impact it is known to affect availability. CVE summarizes:

AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Prior to 3.14.4, aiohttp decompresses each member of a payload containing many concatenated gzip, deflate, or zstd streams by passing the entire remaining input to a new decompressor, causing quadratic CPU use. Empty members produce no output, so client_max_size and output backpressure do not limit the work. A remote attacker can block a server event loop with a crafted compressed request body or WebSocket message, and a malicious server can similarly block a client. This issue is fixed in version 3.14.4.

The advisory is shared for download at github.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-128131 since 11/12/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1499.

Upgrading to version 3.14.4 eliminates this vulnerability.
