Deserialization of Untrusted Data in aiohttp

Moderate

Package

pip aiohttp (pip)

Affected versions

<3.14

Patched versions

3.14

Description

Summary

Using CookieJar.load() with untrusted input may allow arbitrary code execution.

Impact

Most applications using this function will be doing so with the user's own data, so this is unlikely to affect many applications.

Workaround

If an application does allow attacker controlled files to be loaded, a workaround on older releases would be to sanitise the files before loading.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
