CVE-2025-69224

AIOHTTP's Unicode processing of header values could cause parsing discrepancies

Published Jan 5, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 6.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Versions 3.13.2 and below of the Python HTTP parser may allow a request smuggling attack with the presence of non-ASCII characters. If a pure Python version of AIOHTTP is installed (i.e. without the usual C extensions) or AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS is enabled, then an attacker may be able to execute a request smuggling attack to bypass certain firewalls or proxy protections. This issue is fixed in version 3.13.3.
