CVE-2023-49082

Summary

Improper validation makes it possible for an attacker to modify the HTTP request (e.g. insert a new header) or even create a new HTTP request if the attacker controls the HTTP method.

Details

The vulnerability occurs only if the attacker can control the HTTP method (GET, POST etc.) of the request.

Previous releases performed no validation on the provided value. If an attacker controls the HTTP method it will be used as is and can lead to HTTP request smuggling.

PoC

A minimal example can be found here:
https://gist.github.com/jnovikov/7f411ae9fe6a9a7804cf162a3bdbb44b

Impact

If the attacker can control the HTTP version of the request it will be able to modify the request (request smuggling).

Workaround

If unable to upgrade and using user-provided values for the request method, perform manual validation of the user value (e.g. by restricting it to a few known values like GET, POST etc.).

CVE-2023-49081

Summary

Improper validation make it possible for an attacker to modify the HTTP request (e.g. to insert a new header) or even create a new HTTP request if the attacker controls the HTTP version.

Details

The vulnerability only occurs if the attacker can control the HTTP version of the request (including its type).
For example if an unvalidated JSON value is used as a version and the attacker is then able to pass an array as the version parameter.
Furthermore, the vulnerability only occurs when the Connection header is passed to the headers parameter.

At this point, the library will use the parsed value to create the request. If a list is passed, then it bypasses validation and it is possible to perform CRLF injection.

PoC

The POC below shows an example of providing an unvalidated array as a version:
https://gist.github.com/jnovikov/184afb593d9c2114d77f508e0ccd508e

Impact

CRLF injection leading to Request Smuggling.

Workaround

If these specific conditions are met and you are unable to upgrade, then validate the user input to the version parameter to ensure it is a str.

CVE-2024-23829

Summary

Security-sensitive parts of the Python HTTP parser retained minor differences in allowable character sets, that must trigger error handling to robustly match frame boundaries of proxies in order to protect against injection of additional requests. Additionally, validation could trigger exceptions that were not handled consistently with processing of other malformed input.

Details

These problems are rooted in pattern matching protocol elements, previously improved by PR #3235 and GHSA-gfw2-4jvh-wgfg:

The expression HTTP/(\d).(\d) lacked another backslash to clarify that the separator should be a literal dot, not just any Unicode code point (result: HTTP/(\d)\.(\d)).
The HTTP version was permitting Unicode digits, where only ASCII digits are standards-compliant.
Distinct regular expressions for validating HTTP Method and Header field names were used - though both should (at least) apply the common restrictions of rfc9110 token.

PoC

GET / HTTP/1ö1
GET / HTTP/1.𝟙
GET/: HTTP/1.1
Content-Encoding?: chunked

Impact

Primarily concerns running an aiohttp server without llhttp:

behind a proxy: Being more lenient than internet standards require could, depending on deployment environment, assist in request smuggling.
directly accessible or exposed behind proxies relaying malformed input: the unhandled exception could cause excessive resource consumption on the application server and/or its logging facilities.

Patch: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/8074/files

CVE-2024-23334

Summary

Improperly configuring static resource resolution in aiohttp when used as a web server can result in the unauthorized reading of arbitrary files on the system.

Details

When using aiohttp as a web server and configuring static routes, it is necessary to specify the root path for static files. Additionally, the option 'follow_symlinks' can be used to determine whether to follow symbolic links outside the static root directory. When 'follow_symlinks' is set to True, there is no validation to check if a given file path is within the root directory.This can lead to directory traversal vulnerabilities, resulting in unauthorized access to arbitrary files on the system, even when symlinks are not present.

i.e. An application is only vulnerable with setup code like:

app.router.add_routes([
    web.static("/static", "static/", follow_symlinks=True),  # Remove follow_symlinks to avoid the vulnerability
])

Impact

This is a directory traversal vulnerability with CWE ID 22. When using aiohttp as a web server and enabling static resource resolution with follow_symlinks set to True, it can lead to this vulnerability. This vulnerability has been present since the introduction of the follow_symlinks parameter.

Workaround

Even if upgrading to a patched version of aiohttp, we recommend following these steps regardless.

If using follow_symlinks=True outside of a restricted local development environment, disable the option immediately. This option is NOT needed to follow symlinks which point to a location within the static root directory, it is only intended to allow a symlink to break out of the static directory. Even with this CVE fixed, there is still a substantial risk of misconfiguration when using this option on a server that accepts requests from remote users.

Additionally, aiohttp has always recommended using a reverse proxy server (such as nginx) to handle static resources and not to use these static resources in aiohttp for production environments. Doing so also protects against this vulnerability, and is why we expect the number of affected users to be very low.

Patch: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/8079/files

CVE-2024-27306

Summary

A XSS vulnerability exists on index pages for static file handling.

Details

When using web.static(..., show_index=True), the resulting index pages do not escape file names.

If users can upload files with arbitrary filenames to the static directory, the server is vulnerable to XSS attacks.

Workaround

We have always recommended using a reverse proxy server (e.g. nginx) for serving static files. Users following the recommendation are unaffected.

Other users can disable show_index if unable to upgrade.

Patch: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/8319/files

CVE-2024-30251

Summary

An attacker can send a specially crafted POST (multipart/form-data) request. When the aiohttp server processes it, the server will enter an infinite loop and be unable to process any further requests.

Impact

An attacker can stop the application from serving requests after sending a single request.

For anyone needing to patch older versions of aiohttp, the minimum diff needed to resolve the issue is (located in _read_chunk_from_length()):

diff --git a/aiohttp/multipart.py b/aiohttp/multipart.py
index 227be605c..71fc2654a 100644
--- a/aiohttp/multipart.py
+++ b/aiohttp/multipart.py
@&#8203;@&#8203; -338,6 +338,8 @&#8203;@&#8203; class BodyPartReader:
         assert self._length is not None, "Content-Length required for chunked read"
         chunk_size = min(size, self._length - self._read_bytes)
         chunk = await self._content.read(chunk_size)
+        if self._content.at_eof():
+            self._at_eof = True
         return chunk
