Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Affected versions of aiohttp from 3.10.0b1 up to but not including 3.10.2 are vulnerable to path traversal through static routes. If a static route's files have compressed variants (.gz or .br) that are symbolic links pointing outside the root directory, a remote user can request them and read files outside that directory. Upgrade to aiohttp 3.10.2 or later. The source gives no workaround.
