patch available.

  - Scrapy is a high-level web crawling and scraping framework for Python. Prior to 2.17.0, in
    scrapy/core/downloader/handlers/s3.py, Scrapy's S3DownloadHandler converts an S3-scheme bucket and key
    request into a plaintext HTTP request to the corresponding S3 endpoint unless request.meta[is_secure] is
    explicitly enabled, then signs and sends the plaintext request with configured AWS credentials. A network
    attacker who can observe traffic between Scrapy and S3 can read the bucket and key path, AWS Authorization
    header, X-Amz-Security-Token when temporary credentials are used, S3 object contents, and S3 response
    headers. An active man-in-the-middle attacker can also modify the plaintext S3 response body, status code,
    and headers before Scrapy processes them, causing scraped-data poisoning, poisoned exports, HTTP cache
    poisoning when caching is enabled, or influence over later crawl targets through forged redirects or
    attacker-controlled links. Users making S3-scheme requests with AWS credentials are affected. This issue
    is fixed in version 2.17.0. (CVE-2026-84366)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
