GHSA-c427-h43c-vf67
GHSA-c427-h43c-vf67 is a Improper Input Validation vulnerability in aiohttp. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-c427-h43c-vf67 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
AIOHTTP accepts duplicate Host headers
Blast Radius
aiohttpReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Summary
Multiple Host headers were allowed in aiohttp.
Impact
Mostly this doesn't affect aiohttp security itself, but if a reverse proxy is applying security rules depending on the target Host, it is theoretically possible that the proxy and aiohttp could process different host names, possibly resulting in bypassing a security check on the proxy and getting a request processed by aiohttp in a privileged sub app when using Application.add_domain().

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
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.
Fix
Update aiohttp to 3.13.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-c427-h43c-vf67 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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 O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-c427-h43c-vf67 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-c427-h43c-vf67. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-c427-h43c-vf67 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-c427-h43c-vf67 across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
