Several vulnerabilities have been identified in Aiohttp, a widely used asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for Python. These vulnerabilities range from HTTP response splitting and Host header mishandling to potential denial-of-service conditions and information leakage. Patches are available, and users are strongly encouraged to update to version 3.13.4.
While some vulnerabilities have a CVSS score of 2.5, indicating a low to moderate severity, others lack a score but pose significant risks due to potential exploitation scenarios.
What is Aiohttp?
AIOHTTP: Duplicate Host Headers
Potential bypass of reverse proxy security rules.
EPSP: 0.085%. This indicates a moderate likelihood of exploitation in affected environments.
Aiohttp allowed multiple Host headers to be accepted, potentially bypassing security checks in reverse proxies. This could lead to requests being processed by privileged sub-applications when using `Application.add_domain()`.
How to fix CVE-2026-34525 in Aiohttp
Patch immediately- 1.Update Aiohttp to version 3.13.4 or later.
pip install --upgrade aiohttpVerify with:
pip show aiohttpNextGuard automatically flags CVE-2026-34525 if Aiohttp appears in any of your monitored projects — no manual lookup required.
AIOHTTP: HTTP Response Splitting
Low severity HTTP response manipulation.
EPSP: 0.045%. This suggests a relatively low likelihood of exploitation.
An attacker could inject extra headers into HTTP responses by manipulating the `reason` parameter when creating a `Response` object. This could lead to unexpected behavior and potential exploits.
How to fix CVE-2026-34519 in Aiohttp
Patch within 24h- 1.Update Aiohttp to version 3.13.4 or later.
pip install --upgrade aiohttpVerify with:
pip show aiohttpWorkaround: Sanitize or validate the `reason` parameter before using it in a `Response` object.
NextGuard automatically flags CVE-2026-34519 if Aiohttp appears in any of your monitored projects — no manual lookup required.
AIOHTTP: Uncapped Trailer Headers
Potential denial-of-service due to memory exhaustion.
EPSP: 0.038%. This indicates a relatively low likelihood of exploitation.
Aiohttp lacked sufficient restrictions on trailer header handling, potentially leading to uncapped memory usage when processing large requests or responses.
How to fix CVE-2026-22815 in Aiohttp
Patch within 7 days- 1.Update Aiohttp to version 3.13.4 or later.
pip install --upgrade aiohttpVerify with:
pip show aiohttpWorkaround: Configure a reverse proxy to limit trailer header sizes.
NextGuard automatically flags CVE-2026-22815 if Aiohttp appears in any of your monitored projects — no manual lookup required.
AIOHTTP: Memory DoS in Multipart Handling
Potential denial-of-service via large multipart requests.
EPSP: 0.04%. This suggests a relatively low likelihood of exploitation.
Aiohttp performed late size enforcement for non-file multipart form fields, potentially leading to a denial-of-service condition if an attacker sends a large, crafted multipart request.
How to fix CVE-2026-34517 in Aiohttp
Patch within 24h- 1.Update Aiohttp to version 3.13.4 or later.
pip install --upgrade aiohttpVerify with:
pip show aiohttpWorkaround: Implement client-side size limits and validation for multipart form data.
NextGuard automatically flags CVE-2026-34517 if Aiohttp appears in any of your monitored projects — no manual lookup required.
AIOHTTP: Cookie and Proxy-Authorization Header Leakage
Information leakage via header retention during redirects.
EPSP: 0.04%. This suggests a relatively low likelihood of exploitation.
Aiohttp leaked Cookie and Proxy-Authorization headers during cross-origin redirects, potentially exposing sensitive information to unintended parties.
How to fix CVE-2026-34518 in Aiohttp
Patch within 7 days- 1.Update Aiohttp to version 3.13.4 or later.
pip install --upgrade aiohttpVerify with:
pip show aiohttpWorkaround: Implement stricter redirect policies and sanitize headers before forwarding.
NextGuard automatically flags CVE-2026-34518 if Aiohttp appears in any of your monitored projects — no manual lookup required.
AIOHTTP: Unbounded DNS Cache DoS
Potential denial-of-service due to unbounded DNS cache.
EPSP: 0.04%. This suggests a relatively low likelihood of exploitation.
An unbounded DNS cache in TCPConnector could lead to excessive memory usage and a denial-of-service if the application makes requests to a large number of hosts.
How to fix CVE-2026-34513 in Aiohttp
Patch within 7 days- 1.Update Aiohttp to version 3.13.4 or later.
pip install --upgrade aiohttpVerify with:
pip show aiohttpWorkaround: Limit the number of concurrent DNS lookups.
NextGuard automatically flags CVE-2026-34513 if Aiohttp appears in any of your monitored projects — no manual lookup required.
AIOHTTP: NTLMv2 Credential Theft on Windows
Potential NTLMv2 credential theft on Windows.
EPSP: 0.057%. This indicates a moderate likelihood of exploitation.
On Windows, the static resource handler may expose NTLMv2 remote path information, potentially leading to credential theft.
How to fix CVE-2026-34515 in Aiohttp
Patch immediately- 1.Update Aiohttp to version 3.13.4 or later.
pip install --upgrade aiohttpVerify with:
pip show aiohttpWorkaround: Avoid using the static resource handler in production environments. If necessary, implement strict access controls and input validation.
NextGuard automatically flags CVE-2026-34515 if Aiohttp appears in any of your monitored projects — no manual lookup required.
AIOHTTP: CRLF Injection in Multipart Content Type
Potential header injection via CRLF injection.
EPSP: 0.045%. This suggests a relatively low likelihood of exploitation.
An attacker could inject CRLF sequences into the `content_type` parameter when constructing multipart requests, potentially leading to header injection exploits.
How to fix CVE-2026-34514 in Aiohttp
Patch within 24h- 1.Update Aiohttp to version 3.13.4 or later.
pip install --upgrade aiohttpVerify with:
pip show aiohttpWorkaround: Sanitize or validate the `content_type` parameter before using it in a multipart request.
NextGuard automatically flags CVE-2026-34514 if Aiohttp appears in any of your monitored projects — no manual lookup required.
