Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling in the pure-Python HTTP request parser in aiohttp/http_parser.py, where the method variable used to determine whether a request body should be treated as empty is incorrectly sourced from a local parameter rather than self.method. Because self.method is None on the request parser, a HEAD request that includes a Content-Length or chunked transfer encoding causes the parser to skip reading the body, leading to request desynchronization and potential integrity impacts on downstream systems. An attacker can exploit this to inject or corrupt request routing by sending a HEAD request with a body, causing the parser to misalign subsequent requests in the stream.
