Authentication digest disclosure via cross-origin redirect challenge
Published Jun 22, 2026 · Updated Jun 22, 2026
Information disclosure in aiohttp DigestAuthMiddleware before 3.14.1 allows remote attackers to obtain an authentication digest. The middleware answers a digest challenge from a redirected cross-origin request without limiting configured credentials to the first request's origin. Following redirects is enabled by default; exploitation requires an attacker-controlled destination reached through an open redirect or similar condition, while password recovery requires weak digest cryptography or password reuse.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
