aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework
for asyncio and Python.When using aiohttp as a web server
and configuring static routes, it is necessary to specify
the root path for static files. Additionally, the option
'follow_symlinks' can be used to determine whether to
follow symbolic links outside the static root directory.
When 'follow_symlinks' is set to True, there is no
validation to check if reading a file is within the root
directory. This can lead to directory traversal
vulnerabilities, resulting in unauthorized access to
arbitrary files on the system, even when symlinks are not
present. Disabling follow_symlinks and using a reverse proxy
are encouraged mitigations. Version 3.9.2 fixes this issue.
