Severity: MEDIUM
Package: aiohttp @ 3.13.5
Fixed in: 3.14.1

AIOHTTP is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Prior to 3.14.1, no limit was present on the number of pipelined requests that could be queued. An attacker may be able to use pipelined requests to use excessive amounts of memory, potentially leading to DoS. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.14.1.

Not exploitable here. CVE-2026-54273 is a server-side DoS (unbounded pipelined request queue); no aiohttp server runs in this stack. aiohttp enters this stack only as a transitive client dependency of the fsspec cloud-storage backends (s3fs / gcsfs / adlfs via aiobotocore — uv tree --invert --package aiohttp), talking to fixed, trusted storage endpoints. Nothing in the repo runs an aiohttp server or imports aiohttp directly.

Bumped anyway (defense in depth): aiohttp 3.13.5 → 3.14.1 in 65c31cf88f (uv.lock + pkg-manifest; pyproject floor raised for direct deps). Advisory link is in the issue body.
