AIOHTTP vulnerable to DoS through chunked messages
GHSA-g84x-mcqj-x9qq · CVE-2025-69229
Published · Modified
Description
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.
