Scrapy versions up to 2.13.3 are vulnerable to a denial of service (DoS) attack due to a flaw in its brotli decompression implementation. The protection mechanism against decompression bombs fails to mitigate the brotli variant, allowing remote servers to crash clients with less than 80GB of available memory. This occurs because brotli can achieve extremely high compression ratios for zero-filled data, leading to excessive memory consumption during decompression. Mitigation for this vulnerability needs security enhancement added in brotli v1.2.0.
python: added Decompressor::can_accept_more_data method and optional output_buffer_limit argument Decompressor::process;
that allows mitigation of unexpectedly large output;

Added
decoder / encoder: added static initialization to reduce binary size
python: allow limiting decoder output (see SECURITY section)
Next steps: Take a moment to review the security alert
above. Review the linked package source code to understand the potential
risk. Ensure the package is not malicious before proceeding. If you're
unsure how to proceed, reach out to your security team or ask the Socket
team for help at support@socket.dev.
Suggestion: Remove or replace dependencies that include known critical CVEs. Consumers can use dependency overrides or npm audit fix --force to remove vulnerable dependencies.
Mark the package as acceptable risk. To ignore this alert only
in this pull request, reply with the comment
@SocketSecurity ignore npm/form-data@4.0.2. You can
also ignore all packages with @SocketSecurity ignore-all.
