CVE-2026-128128
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-3rp8-rxj8-mvjw ↗EUVD-2026-125760 ↗
description
aiohttp releases before 3.14.4 are affected when the C WebSocket reader is in use. A remote WebSocket peer can bypass the configured message-size limit and cause unbounded memory consumption, requiring access to a WebSocket endpoint handled by the affected reader.
mitigation
Upgrade aiohttp to version 3.14.4 or later. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, disable C extensions with AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS=1 to use the unaffected Python reader.
fixed in 3.14.4
outcome
Mechanism verified: the exploit fired on the vulnerable build and stayed silent on the patched one, but the server it ran against was ours, so no check ships for it.
