Summary

AIOHTTP vulnerable to DoS through chunked messages

Details

Summary

Handling of chunked messages can result in excessive blocking CPU usage when receiving a large number of chunks.

Impact

If an application makes use of the request.read() method in an endpoint, it may be possible for an attacker to cause the server to spend a moderate amount of blocking CPU time (e.g. 1 second) while processing the request. This could potentially lead to DoS as the server would be unable to handle other requests during that time.

CVE-2025-69229 (GCVE-0-2025-69229)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-01-05 23:37 – Updated: 2026-01-06 19:02

Title

AIOHTTP vulnerable to DoS through chunked messages

Summary

AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. In versions 3.13.2 and below, handling of chunked messages can result in excessive blocking CPU usage when receiving a large number of chunks. If an application makes use of the request.read() method in an endpoint, it may be possible for an attacker to cause the server to spend a moderate amount of blocking CPU time (e.g. 1 second) while processing the request. This could potentially lead to DoS as the server would be unable to handle other requests during that time. This issue is fixed in version 3.13.3.

Severity ?
