Doc Text:	A flaw was found in aiohttp. A remote attacker can craft a malicious request that, when processed by an aiohttp server using the `Request.post()` method, causes the server's memory to fill uncontrollably. This can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) by freezing the server, making it unavailable to legitimate users.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-01-06 00:01:29 UTC

AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Versions 3.13.2 and below allow a request to be crafted in such a way that an AIOHTTP server's memory fills up uncontrollably during processing. If an application includes a handler that uses the Request.post() method, an attacker may be able to freeze the server by exhausting the memory. This issue is fixed in version 3.13.3.
