How to fix?

Upgrade Scrapy to version 2.5.1, 1.8.1 or higher.

Overview

Scrapy is a high-level web crawling and web scraping framework, used to crawl websites and extract structured data from their pages.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. 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.
