Technical ContextAI · show details

Classified as CWE-22 (Path Traversal). Affects the existence of absolute path component of Aiohttp. AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Versions 3.13.2 and below enable an attacker to ascertain the existence of absolute path components through the path normalization logic for static files meant to prevent path traversal. If an application uses web.static() (not recommended for production deployments), it may be possible for an attacker to ascertain the existence of path components. This issue is fixed in version 3.13.3.

DescriptionCVE.org

AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Versions 3.13.2 and below enable an attacker to ascertain the existence of absolute path components through the path normalization logic for static files meant to prevent path traversal. If an application uses web.static() (not recommended for production deployments), it may be possible for an attacker to ascertain the existence of path components. This issue is fixed in version 3.13.3.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Organizations using the existence of absolute path components should be aware of moderate risk from CVE-2025-69226, a path traversal vulnerability rated CVSS 5.3. This could allow unauthorized file access. A patch is available and should be applied during regular vulnerability management.

Business Impact: Low

Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: restrict file access via WAF, implement allowlists.
