Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-532.
Summary
Trigger.dev CLI before 4.5.9 writes resolved environment secret values into debug deployment logs because it serializes unredacted envVars. An attacker with access to terminal transcripts, CI debug logs, or support bundles can read the Starting buildWorker record and recover database connection strings and service credentials. The flaw is tracked as CWE-532, and the attacker needs no privileges but must obtain those logs.
