PYSEC-2026-1097

AIOHTTP vulnerable to brute-force leak of internal static file path components

Quick fix

PYSEC-2026-1097 — aiohttp: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'aiohttp>=3.13.3'

Details

### Summary Path normalization for static files prevents path traversal, but opens up the ability for an attacker to ascertain the existence of absolute path components.

### Impact If an application uses `web.static()` (not recommended for production deployments), it may be possible for an attacker to ascertain the existence of path components.
