eBay API MCP Server Affected by Environment Variable Injection

npm ebay-mcp <= 1.7.2 no fix listed

Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

The `ebay_set_user_tokens` tool allows updating the `.env` file with new tokens. The `updateEnvFile` function in `src/auth/oauth.ts` blindly appends or replaces values without validating them for newlines or quotes. This allows an attacker to inject arbitrary environment variables into the configuration file. ### Impact An attacker can inject arbitrary environment variables into the `.env` file. This could lead to: - **Configuration Overwrites**: Attackers can overwrite critical settings like `EBAY_REDIRECT_URI` to hijack OAuth flows. - **Denial of Service**: Injecting invalid configuration can prevent the server from starting. - **Potential RCE**: In some environments, controlling environment variables (like `NODE_OPTIONS`) can lead to Remote Code Execution.
