Machine-written summary

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

Affected: aiohttp versions before 3.12.14. The pure Python HTTP parser does not parse trailer sections of chunked requests, which enables request smuggling. This applies only when aiohttp runs without its C extensions or with AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS enabled. An attacker could use smuggling to bypass firewall or proxy protections. Upgrade to aiohttp 3.12.14 or later.

Written 5 Nov 2026.
