CVE-2026-128131
AIOHTTP: Concatenated compressed streams cause excessive CPU use
Description
AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Prior to 3.14.4, aiohttp decompresses each member of a payload containing many concatenated gzip, deflate, or zstd streams by passing the entire remaining input to a new decompressor, causing quadratic CPU use. Empty members produce no output, so client_max_size and output backpressure do not limit the work. A remote attacker can block a server event loop with a crafted compressed request body or WebSocket message, and a malicious server can similarly block a client. This issue is fixed in version 3.14.4.
