aiohttp is vulnerable to Improper Input Validation
37
Low Risk
This Affects:
aiohttpTL;DR
The WebSocket client accepts and decompresses frames that have the RSV1 (compressed) bit set even when the permessage-deflate extension was not negotiated. A peer can therefore force decompression of frames on a connection where compression was explicitly opted out. This can cause additional CPU and memory consumption while inflating attacker-supplied payloads. The fix rejects compressed frames when permessage-deflate was not negotiated.
