Description
The configure command accepted any endpoint URL and stored it beside the user's access token. ConfigureCommand.execute in src/cli.ts persisted the value given to its endpoint option into the user profile without passing it through createSafeUrl in src/config.ts, the helper that already restricted the environment-variable form of the same setting to the vendor's own hosts over HTTPS. Because the connect path in src/mcp.ts attaches the stored token as a bearer credential on every request to the configured endpoint, a user who was persuaded to run configure with an endpoint of the attacker's choosing sent their personal access token to that destination on each subsequent invocation. Version 0.2.5 applies the same helper to the option.

Impact

The Airtable MCP CLI accepted any endpoint URL entered with the configure command and stored that value together with the user’s access token. Because the stored token was appended as a bearer credential to every request made to the configured endpoint, a malicious endpoint supplied by an attacker would receive the token on each subsequent execution. This behavior exposes the personal access token to an unintended third party, effectively disclosing credentials and exposing the user to account compromise, as highlighted by CWE‑200.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Airtable MCP CLI, specifically all releases prior to version 0.2.5. Users running earlier versions are able to execute the configure command without endpoint validation, causing the credentials to be persisted for later use.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates moderate to high severity from a confidentiality point of view. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting a lower likelihood of widespread exploitation at present. However, the attack requires that an attacker convince a user to run the configure command with a malicious endpoint, which is feasible through social engineering or phishing. Once executed, the token is automatically exposed on each subsequent invocation, making the exploitation particularly damaging to the affected user.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Airtable MCP CLI to version 0.2.5 or later where endpoint validation is enforced
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, avoid using the configure command with external or untrusted endpoints and instead use the safe URL helper or manually verify destinations
  • Monitor outbound traffic for unexpected requests to unknown endpoints and restrict network access to legitimate Airtable services
