How severe is GHSA-9548-qrrj-x5pj?

No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-9548-qrrj-x5pj yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-9548-qrrj-x5pj?

GHSA-9548-qrrj-x5pj affects the following packages: aiohttp (PyPI). Ecosystems affected: PyPI.

How do I fix GHSA-9548-qrrj-x5pj?

Update aiohttp to 3.12.14 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-9548-qrrj-x5pj is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-9548-qrrj-x5pj in my PyPI dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for aiohttp. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate GHSA-9548-qrrj-x5pj if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against GHSA-9548-qrrj-x5pj?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-9548-qrrj-x5pj is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is GHSA-9548-qrrj-x5pj actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-9548-qrrj-x5pj yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-9548-qrrj-x5pj?

GHSA-9548-qrrj-x5pj has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 21th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

When was GHSA-9548-qrrj-x5pj published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-9548-qrrj-x5pj was published on July 14, 2025 and was last updated on February 4, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Summary

The Python parser is vulnerable to a request smuggling vulnerability due to not parsing trailer sections of an HTTP request.

Impact

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.

Patch: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/commit/e8d774f635dc6d1cd3174d0e38891da5de0e2b6a
