GHSA-4255-c27h-62m5

unity-cli Exposes Plaintext Credentials in Debug Logs (sign-package command)

Quick fix

GHSA-4255-c27h-62m5 — @rage-against-the-pixel/unity-cli: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

npm install @rage-against-the-pixel/unity-cli@1.8.2

Details

The sign-package command in @rage-against-the-pixel/unity-cli logs sensitive credentials in plaintext when the `--verbose` flag is used. Command-line arguments including `--email` and `--password` are output via JSON.stringify without sanitization, exposing secrets to shell history, CI/CD logs, and log aggregation systems.

Users who run sign-package with `--verbose` and credential arguments expose their Unity account passwords. This affects all versions prior to 1.8.2. The vulnerability requires explicit user action (using `--verbose`) but creates significant risk in automated and shared environments.

Workaround: Use environment variables (`UNITY_USERNAME`, `UNITY_PASSWORD`) instead of command-line arguments, and avoid the `--verbose` flag when working with credentials.

Existing RageAgainstThePixel and Buildalon GitHub actions are unaffected as they use the environment variables exclusively.
