A flaw was found in Aiohttp. This issue may allow an attacker to send a crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers due to improper validation of HTTP requests during the processing of the HTTP request method. By exploiting this flaw, an attacker can manipulate HTTP requests and potentially poison the HTTP cache for phishing attacks.
Statement
The vulnerability only occurs if the attacker can control the HTTP method (GET, POST etc.) of the request.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
