Affected packages
• npm trigger.dev: < 4.5.9 → fixed in 4.5.9
Description
Affected version: trigger.dev 4.5.3 (4.5.6 was advertised by the CLI but was not tested).
A staging dry-run executed with `trigger.dev deploy --env staging --dry-run --log-level debug`. The debug output logged the complete build-worker options object. Its `envVars` property contained unredacted values for every resolved staging variable, including database connection strings and service credentials. The non-debug environment listing correctly hides values, so users can reasonably expect deployment logs not to print secrets.
Impact: anyone with access to a developer terminal transcript, CI debug log, captured agent/tool output, or support bundle can recover deployment secrets even though no deployment occurs.
Reproduction:
1. Configure a Trigger.dev project with a secret environment variable.
2. Run the command above with an authenticated profile.
3. Inspect the `Starting buildWorker` debug record.
4. `options.envVars` contains the plaintext value.
No real credential is included in this report. The observed customer credentials are being rotated separately.
Suggested remediation: never serialize `envVars` values in debug output; log names only or replace every value with a fixed marker. Add regression coverage for deploy, dry-run, and debug logging, and review adjacent debug records for resolved secrets.
