CVE-2025-69223

AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Versions 3.13.2 and below allow a zip bomb to be used to execute a DoS against the AIOHTTP server. An attacker may be able to send a compressed request that when decompressed by AIOHTTP could exhaust the host's memory. This issue is fixed in version 3.13.3.

It affects Aiohttp. It matters if your company, or a supplier that handles your data, runs it.
An attacker can use it remotely, over a network, without a login, and without anyone at your company clicking anything.
