high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438803

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Scrapy is a high-level web crawling and scraping framework for Python. From 1.4.0 until 2.14.2,
 RefererMiddleware in scrapy/spidermiddlewares/referer.py treated a Referrer-Policy response-header value
 that resembled a Python import path as a referrer policy class, imported the referenced object, and called
 it. A malicious website could supply a callable such as sys.exit and terminate a crawler processing the
 response. This issue is fixed in version 2.14.2. (CVE-2026-105782)

Solution

Update the Scrapy library and its related packages to version 2.14.2 or later.
