Chore(deps-dev): [security] bump aiohttp from 3.9.2 to 3.9.4

HIFIS Bot requested to merge dependabot-pip-aiohttp-3.9.4 into main

Bumps aiohttp from 3.9.2 to 3.9.4. This update includes a security fix.

Vulnerabilities fixed

aiohttp Cross-site Scripting vulnerability on index pages for static file handling

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: aio-libs/aiohttp#8319

Patched versions: 3.9.4 Affected versions: < 3.9.4

Release notes

Sourced from aiohttp's releases.

3.9.4

Bug fixes

  • The asynchronous internals now set the underlying causes when assigning exceptions to the future objects -- by :user:webknjaz.

    Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #8089.

  • Treated values of Accept-Encoding header as case-insensitive when checking for gzip files -- by :user:steverep.

    Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #8104.

  • Improved the DNS resolution performance on cache hit -- by :user:bdraco.

    This is achieved by avoiding an :mod:asyncio task creation in this case.

    Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #8163.

  • Changed the type annotations to allow dict on :meth:aiohttp.MultipartWriter.append, :meth:aiohttp.MultipartWriter.append_json and :meth:aiohttp.MultipartWriter.append_form -- by :user:cakemanny

    Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #7741.

  • Ensure websocket transport is closed when client does not close it -- by :user:bdraco.

    The transport could remain open if the client did not close it. This change ensures the transport is closed when the client does not close it.
