Machine-written summary

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

aiohttp versions before 3.14.4 are affected. An attacker who sends a request in absolute form can spoof the scheme reported by Request.scheme, which may cause application code that relies on it for security decisions to treat an unencrypted connection as encrypted, or the reverse. Upgrade to aiohttp 3.14.4. If upgrading is not possible, a web application firewall rule that rejects absolute-form request targets is a possible workaround.
