"The version of aiohttp installed on the remote host is prior to 3.14.2. It is, therefore, affected by a
request smuggling vulnerability:

  - AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Prior to 3.14.2, the HTTP parsers
    were vulnerable to a request smuggling attack relating to WebSocket upgrades. If using the server-side component, an
    attacker may be able to execute a request smuggling vulnerability using an edge case in the WebSocket upgrade
    procedure. A WebSocket upgrade request with a body could cause the parser to switch protocols before the complete
    request body was received, leaving trailing bytes to be handled as upgraded-protocol or pipelined data rather than
    normal HTTP body data. This issue is fixed in version 3.14.2. (CVE-2026-69243)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
