How to Fix CVE-2025-69226

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Aiohttp dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

aiohttp fixed: 3.13.3 
pip install aiohttp>=3.13.3
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show aiohttp

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2025-69226, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show aiohttp

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Aiohttp in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.13.3), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show aiohttp command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-202: Exposure of Sensitive Information Through Data Queries, where when trying to keep information confidential, an attacker can often infer some of the information by using statistics. In Aiohttp, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Summary Path normalization for static files prevents path traversal, but opens up the ability for an attacker to ascertain the existence of absolute path components. ### Impact 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. ------ Patch: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/commit/f2a86fd5ac0383000d1715afddfa704413f0711e
