SCA: security update for aiohttp (GHSA-v6wp-4m6f-gcjg)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 419142

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. In aiohttp before version
3.7.4 there is an open redirect vulnerability. A maliciously crafted link to an aiohttp-based web-server
could redirect the browser to a different website. It is caused by a bug in the
`aiohttp.web_middlewares.normalize_path_middleware` middleware. This security problem has been fixed in
3.7.4. Upgrade your dependency using pip as follows "pip install aiohttp >= 3.7.4". If upgrading is not an
option for you, a workaround can be to avoid using `aiohttp.web_middlewares.normalize_path_middleware` in
your applications. (CVE-2021-21330)
