AIOHTTP: Absolute-form request targets can spoof Request.scheme
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Summary
An attacker sending an absolute-form request can spoof the scheme used.
### Impact
If user code depends on the `Request.scheme` attribute for anything security related, an attacker may be able to circumvent this logic, tricking the application into thinking a connection is encrypted when it is not, or vice versa.
### Workaround
A WAF rule to reject absolute-form requests (legitimate requests should only use this form for proxies).
