CVE-2026-128127: AIOHTTP: Base64 multipart parts bypass client_max_size

Published Nov 13, 2026

Updated

AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Prior to 3.14.4, BodyPartReader.readchunk() processing a multipart part with Content-Transfer-Encoding set to base64 keeps reading until the chunk length is a multiple of four without enforcing a byte limit. A short Content-Length or a long run of whitespace can cause one call to read the remaining body into memory before the size check or spin on the event loop. A remote attacker can send such a multipart request to a handler that reads multipart data and bypass clientmaxsize. This issue is fixed in version 3.14.4.
