What it is
The record does not classify the weakness yet; the description below says what the reporter found.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, without an account, and nobody has to click anything. Success also depends on conditions the attacker does not fully control.
What an attacker gains
The direct impact is limited: partial access to data or a partial outage.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- Upgrade aio-libs aiohttp to 3.14.4 or later.
- Until it is patched, keep it off the internet or behind a VPN, allowlist or authenticating proxy.
Description from NVD
AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Prior to 3.14.4, Set-Cookie parsing treats unrecognized name=value attributes as additional cookies, while CookieJar does not limit the number of cookies stored or sent. A malicious server can make an aiohttp client accumulate a very large cookie set, consume memory and CPU repeatedly across redirects, and construct an excessively large Cookie header for later requests to the same domain. This issue is fixed in version 3.14.4.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- aio-libs aiohttp. Start from where it runs and what it is connected to.
Trust boundaries in play
- Internet-facing entry points. No account is needed. Any instance reachable from outside your perimeter, through a load balancer, gateway, VPN or exposed admin port, is in scope.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does aio-libs aiohttp run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
