SCA: security update for Scrapy (GHSA-4qqq-9vqf-3h3f)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 410349
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- In scrapy/scrapy, an issue was identified where the Authorization header is not removed during redirects
that only change the scheme (e.g., HTTPS to HTTP) but remain within the same domain. This behavior
contravenes the Fetch standard, which mandates the removal of Authorization headers in cross-origin
requests when the scheme, host, or port changes. Consequently, when a redirect downgrades from HTTPS to
HTTP, the Authorization header may be inadvertently exposed in plaintext, leading to potential sensitive
information disclosure to unauthorized actors. The flaw is located in the _build_redirect_request function
of the redirect middleware. (CVE-2024-1968)
