Vercel: Non-interactive mode includes CLI arguments in suggested command output
Summary
When the Vercel CLI runs in non-interactive mode (--non-interactive or auto-detected AI agent), commands that cannot complete autonomously emit JSON payloads with suggested follow-up commands. If the user authenticated via --token or -t on the command line, the token value is included verbatim in those suggestions.
Conditions
All three must be true for the token to appear in output:
- Token passed as a CLI argument (
--token/-t). TheVERCEL_TOKENenvironment variable is not affected. - Non-interactive mode is active (explicit flag or AI agent auto-detection).
- The command cannot complete on its own (e.g. missing
--yes, ambiguous scope, API errors). Successful commands produce no suggestion output.
Impact
The plaintext token may be captured in CI/CD logs, agent transcripts, or other automation output.
Remediation
- Upgrade to the patched version.
- If developers have previously used
--tokenwith--non-interactivein their applications, review logs for exposed tokens and rotate them. - Prefer
VERCEL_TOKENenvironment variable for authentication.
