CVE-2026-69243: AIOHTTP: HTTP request smuggling via WebSocket upgrade
Summary
The HTTP parsers were vulnerable to a request smuggling attack relating to WebSocket upgrades.
Impact
If using the server-side component, it may be possible for an attacker to execute a request smuggling vulnerability using an edge case in the WebSocket upgrade procedure. AIOHTT is unaware of any public exploit code.

Other sources
AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Prior to 3.14.2, the HTTP parsers were vulnerable to a request smuggling attack relating to WebSocket upgrades. If using the server-side component, an attacker may be able to execute a request smuggling vulnerability using an edge case in the WebSocket upgrade procedure. A WebSocket upgrade request with a body could cause the parser to switch protocols before the complete request body was received, leaving trailing bytes to be handled as upgraded-protocol or pipelined data rather than normal HTTP body data. This issue is fixed in version 3.14.2.
