Vulnerability Details

aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. In affected versions an attacker can send a specially crafted POST (multipart/form-data) request. When the aiohttp server processes it, the server will enter an infinite loop and be unable to process any further requests. An attacker can stop the application from serving requests after sending a single request. This issue has been addressed in version 3.9.4. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may manually apply a patch to their systems. Please see the linked GHSA for instructions. Mend Note: The vulnerability was fixed in version 3.9.4 (unaffected). A few minor follow-up patches were added in 3.9.5, as stated in https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/security/advisories/GHSA-5m98-qgg9-wh84.

I dont understand. I already remedied the issue and its clearly set to 3.9.4 in main: https://github.com/opensearch-project/k-NN/blob/main/benchmarks/osb/requirements.txt#L7. We'll see what automatic remediation they are going to try to attempt

@jmazanec15 Shouldn't we need to upgrade the dependency in 2.x branch as well?

In the description it says "Found in base branch: main" which is what is confusing me
