Upgrade Debian:unstable python-scrapy to version 2.14.2-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-scrapy package and not the python-scrapy package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.
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.
