Arbitrary code execution via malicious pickle loading
Published Jun 2, 2026 · Updated Aug 28, 2026
Deserialization of untrusted data in aiohttp before 3.14.0 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code through a crafted cookie file. CookieJar.load opens the supplied file and passes legacy content to unrestricted pickle.load, which invokes attacker-selected reconstruction globals. Exploitation requires an application or user to load an attacker-controlled cookie file; ordinary use with application-owned cookie data is not exposed.
