CVE-2025-69228 Moderate

AIOHTTP vulnerable to denial of service through large payloads

### Summary A request can be crafted in such a way that an aiohttp server's memory fills up uncontrollably during processing. ### Impact 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. ----- Patch: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/commit/b7dbd35375aedbcd712cbae8ad513d56d11cce60

Open Source Vulnerabilities CVE-2025-69228

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.
