SCA: security update for aiohttp (GHSA-9548-qrrj-x5pj)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 428379

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. Prior to version 3.12.14,
the Python parser is vulnerable to a request smuggling vulnerability due to not parsing trailer sections
of an HTTP request. If a pure Python version of aiohttp is installed (i.e. without the usual C extensions)
or AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS is enabled, then an attacker may be able to execute a request smuggling attack to
bypass certain firewalls or proxy protections. Version 3.12.14 contains a patch for this issue.
(CVE-2025-53643)
