Machine-written summary

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

The aiohttp package versions before 3.13.3 are vulnerable to a zip bomb in the HTTP parser's auto_decompress feature. An attacker can send a compressed request that, when decompressed by aiohttp, exhausts the host's memory, causing a denial of service. Upgrade to aiohttp 3.13.3 or later.
