## Description

In scrapy version 2.10.1, an issue was identified where the Authorization
header, containing credentials for server authentication, is leaked to a
third-party site during a cross-domain redirect. This vulnerability arises
from the failure to remove the Authorization header when redirecting across
domains. The exposure of the Authorization header to unauthorized actors
could potentially allow for account hijacking.
