If you use `HttpAuthMiddleware` (i.e. the `http_user` and `http_pass` spider attributes) for HTTP authentication, all requests will expose your credentials to the request target. This includes requests generated by Scrapy components, such as `robots.txt` requests sent by Scrapy when the `ROBOTSTXT_OBEY` setting is set to `True`, or as requests reached through redirects. Upgrade to Scrapy 2.5.1 and use the new `http_auth_domain` spider attribute to control which domains are allowed to receive the configured HTTP authentication credentials. If you are using Scrapy 1.8 or a lower version, and upgrading to Scrapy 2.5.1 is not an option, you may upgrade to Scrapy 1.8.1 instead. If you cannot upgrade, set your HTTP authentication credentials on a per-request basis, using for example the `w3lib.http.basic_auth_header` function to convert your credentials into a value that you can assign to the `Authorization` header of your request, instead of defining your credentials globally using `HttpAuthMiddleware`." } ] }, "impact": { "cvss": { "attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "NONE", "baseScore": 5.7, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "REQUIRED", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N", "version": "3.1" } }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "https://github.com/scrapy/scrapy/security/advisories/GHSA-jwqp-28gf-p498", "refsource": "CONFIRM", "url": "https://github.com/scrapy/scrapy/security/advisories/GHSA-jwqp-28gf-p498" }, { "name": "https://github.com/scrapy/scrapy/commit/b01d69a1bf48060daec8f751368622352d8b85a6", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://github.com/scrapy/scrapy/commit/b01d69a1bf48060daec8f751368622352d8b85a6" }, { "name": "https://w3lib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/w3lib.html#w3lib.http.basic_auth_header", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://w3lib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/w3lib.html#w3lib.http.basic_auth_header" }, { "name": "http://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/topics/downloader-middleware.html#module-scrapy.downloadermiddlewares.httpauth", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "http://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/topics/downloader-middleware.html#module-scrapy.downloadermiddlewares.httpauth" }, { "refsource": "MLIST", "name": "[debian-lts-announce] 20220316 [SECURITY] [DLA 2950-1] python-scrapy security update", "url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2022/03/msg00021.html" } ] }, "source": { "advisory": "GHSA-jwqp-28gf-p498", "discovery": "UNKNOWN" } }
