UNKNOWN PyPI

aiohttp allows request smuggling due to incorrect parsing of chunk extensions

GHSA-8495-4g3g-x7pr · CVE-2024-52304

Published · Modified

Description

Summary

The Python parser parses newlines in chunk extensions incorrectly which can lead to request smuggling vulnerabilities under certain conditions.

Impact

If a pure Python version of aiohttp is installed (i.e. without the usual C extensions) or AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS is enabled, then an attacker may be able to execute a request smuggling attack to bypass certain firewalls or proxy protections.
