Obviously it wouldn’t work for a project as large as Debian, but I wonder if there is some exclusion clause that can be inserted that forbids all users that would be covered under the Cyber Resilience Act from using the software?

It could be done for some software, but some popular licenses like GPL don't allow additional restrictions on use.

If it were a big enough problem, could GPLv4 be published (perhaps with a clause to cover this and future laws) and products encouraged to migrate to it?

Likely not. A license can not override legislation. Like creative-commons cannot be used to give away moral rights at least if not some of the copy rights too.
