Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote user to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper cryptographic key management in owner-ID prompt obfuscation in src/agents/cli-runner/helpers.ts, src/agents/pi-embedded-runner/run/attempt.ts, and src/agents/pi-embedded-runner/compact.ts when hashing owner identifiers with commands.ownerDisplay=hash and commands.ownerDisplaySecret unset. A remote user can observe hash outputs exposed to third-party model providers to disclose sensitive information.
No direct plaintext token disclosure is described, and practical risk is highest when weak gateway tokens are used.
