"The version of aiohttp installed on the remote host is prior to 3.14.3. It is, therefore, affected by a
denial of service vulnerability:

  - AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Prior to 3.14.3, an out-of-bounds
    heap read could occur in the C response parser while building an error message for a malformed response. An attacker
    controlled server, or possibly an accidental response, could trigger a DoS in the client. The vulnerable path was
    error message construction in aiohttp/_http_parser.pyx, where an llhttp error-position pointer was used to build a
    snippet for malformed chunked responses and malformed request or response bytes at the buffer end. This issue is
    fixed in version 3.14.3. (CVE-2026-69244)

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