Summary
AnyIO is a high level asynchronous concurrency and networking framework that works on top of either Trio or asyncio. Prior to 4.14.2, connect_tcp() and TLSStream.wrap() can validate internationalized host names after the standard library converts them with IDNA 2003 instead of IDNA 2008. When a connection to a non-ASCII domain is hijacked or redirected, an attacker can obtain a legitimate certificate for the different ASCII hostname produced by IDNA 2003 and present it to the client, causing the malicious endpoint's certificate to validate.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can impersonate a trusted endpoint and have their certificate validated, enabling interception or manipulation of communications.
Recommendation
Update AnyIO to version 4.14.2 or later.

See all- CVE-2026-64847Medium
In AnyIO prior to 4.14.2, process-pool workers were started with stderr connected to a pipe the parent never drained. Worker code writing enough data to sys.stderr could fill the pipe and block before returning the response, causing the awaiting process-pool call to remain blocked indefinitely.
- CVE-2026-63349High
In AnyIO 4.14.0, open_process() forwards the group argument to the backend instead of extra_groups, despite accepting the extra_groups parameter. A call with extra_groups=[] to clear inherited supplementary groups can launch a child process that retains the parent's groups, weakening a privilege-dropping boundary. This affects POSIX applications using AnyIO subprocess helpers and is fixed in version 4.14.2.
