Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling via the unicode processing of HTTP header values. An attacker can bypass firewall or proxy protections by sending requests containing non-ASCII characters.

Note: This is only exploitable if C extensions are not in use (pure python installation) or if the AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS environment variable is enabled.
