CVE-2026-54549

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in upload_ad_image via Unrestricted image_url Fetch Summary The upload_ad_image MCP tool in meta-ads-mcp v1.0.113 passes an attacker-controlled image_url parameter directly to an HTTP fetch helper (httpx.AsyncClient(follow_redirects=True).get(url)) without any scheme, host, or IP address validation. When the server is deployed with the streamable-http transport (a documented, officially supported mode), an unauthenticated remote attacker can supply an arbitrary URL—including http://127.0.0.1/, RFC 1918 addresses, or cloud metadata endpoints such as http://169.254.169.254/—and cause the server to issue an outbound HTTP request to that target. The Authorization middleware only verifies that a non-empty Bearer token is present; actual Meta API credential validation occurs *after* the image download, so any dummy Bearer token bypasses the pre-fetch check. This constitutes a full, unauthenticated Server-Side Request Forgery with a confirmed CVSS 3.1 Base Score of 8.3 (High).
