CVE-2025-53643 Details
Description
AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Prior to version 3.12.14, the Python parser is vulnerable to a request smuggling vulnerability due to not parsing trailer sections of an HTTP request. 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. Version 3.12.14 contains a patch for this issue.
A request smuggling vulnerability has been identified in AIOHTTP versions through 3.12.13. The issue arises because the Python parser does not properly handle trailer sections of HTTP requests. This vulnerability is present in the pure Python version of AIOHTTP, excluding the typical C extensions, or when the AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS option is activated. An attacker could exploit this flaw to perform request smuggling attacks, potentially circumventing certain firewall or proxy defenses.
Users can upgrade to AIOHTTP version 3.12.14 or later to address this vulnerability.
