CVE-2025-69225
Description
A flaw was found in aiohttp, an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework. The parser logic allows non-ASCII decimal characters in the HTTP Range header. This could potentially enable a remote attacker to exploit a request smuggling vulnerability, leading to the bypass of security controls or unauthorized information access.
Statement
This vulnerability is rated Low for Red Hat products as it affects components utilizing the aiohttp framework, including Red Hat AI Inference Server, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, Migration Toolkit for Containers, OpenShift Lightspeed, Hosted OpenShift Clusters, OpenShift Service Mesh, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI, Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI), and Red Hat Satellite. The flaw in aiohttp's parser logic could enable request smuggling if non-ASCII decimals are present in the HTTP Range header, potentially bypassing security controls or allowing unauthorized information access.
Mitigation
No mitigation is currently available that meets Red Hat Product Security’s standards for usability, deployment, applicability, or stability.
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).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Integrity,Non-Repudiation,Access Control
Technical Impact: Unexpected State; Hide Activities; Bypass Protection Mechanism
An attacker could create HTTP messages to exploit a number of weaknesses including 1) the message can trick the web server to associate a URL with another URL's webpage and caching the contents of the webpage (web cache poisoning attack), 2) the message can be structured to bypass the firewall protection mechanisms and gain unauthorized access to a web application, and 3) the message can invoke a script or a page that returns client credentials (similar to a Cross Site Scripting attack).
