SCA: security update for Scrapy, brotli (GHSA-2qfp-q593-8484)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435928
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Scrapy versions up to 2.13.2 are vulnerable to a denial of service (DoS) attack due to a flaw in its
brotli decompression implementation. The protection mechanism against decompression bombs fails to
mitigate the brotli variant, allowing remote servers to crash clients with less than 80GB of available
memory. This occurs because brotli can achieve extremely high compression ratios for zero-filled data,
leading to excessive memory consumption during decompression. (CVE-2025-6176)
