Lack of data validation In aiohttp
Description
AIOHTTP: WebSocket client accepts compressed frames without negotiated permessage-deflate
Summary
The client accepts and decompresses frames with the RSV1 bit set even when the permessage-deflate extension was not negotiated.
Impact
A client may unexpectedly decompress WebSocket frames when explicitly opted out. This could lead to additional CPU/memory consumption, but is unlikely to be a significant issue unless a zip bomb vulnerability or similar is also present.

Mitigation
Update Impact
Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
