Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The aiohttp package, versions before 3.13.4, is affected. Its C parser (llhttp) accepted null bytes and control characters in request header values, so an attacker who can send crafted HTTP requests may get headers interpreted differently than intended, which could enable a security bypass. The source gives few details on the exact bypass scenario. Upgrade aiohttp to version 3.13.4 or later.
