Threats tagged 'brew-checkov-cve-2025-69228'

CVE-2025-69228 is a medium severity vulnerability in aiohttp versions prior to 3.13.3 that allows an attacker to exhaust server memory by crafting malicious HTTP requests targeting handlers using the Request.post() method. This flaw arises from the lack of resource allocation limits or throttling, causing uncontrolled memory consumption and potential server freeze or denial of service. The vulnerability requires no authentication or user interaction and can be exploited remotely over the network. Although no known exploits are currently in the wild, affected servers remain at risk until patched. European organizations using aiohttp-based asynchronous Python web servers should prioritize updating to version 3.13.3 to mitigate this risk.
