Upgrade envapi to version 0.2.3 or higher.
Overview
envapi is an An API to interact with environment files
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection') through the dotenv.stringify process. An attacker can manipulate the execution of commands or alter application behavior by injecting malicious environment variables.
Note:
This is only exploitable if applications process untrusted input and pass it through dotenv.stringify.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by sanitizing user-controlled environment variable values before passing them to dotenv.stringify. Specifically, avoid using ", ', and backticks in values, or enforce strict validation of environment variables before usage.
