Be careful running trusted or untrusted code with access to your environment variables.
If you're using the #GitHubCLI or #CopilotCLI on a personal computer, sensitive variables may be exposed:
- `GH_TOKEN`
- `GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN`
- `GITHUB_TOKEN`
- `GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN`
- `GITHUB_AUTH_TOKEN`
These can be read by any executed process, and in some cases tools may also expose tokens via commands like:
`gh auth token`
Treat your environment as compromised when executing code.

President Donald Trump relied on his gut and largely side-stepped diplomatic coordination as he made the decision to launch strikes on Iran with Israel. But now with the Iran war’s economic and geopolitical consequences unfurling rapidly, the Republican president is cajoling allies and other global powers to help mop up the mess. Trump says he’s asked roughly a half-dozen other countries to send warships to reopen the vital Strait of Hormuz to oil traffic. So far, none has committed. Trump even indicated he'd use his long-planned trip to China to pressure Beijing to help with the coalition — a notion his Treasury secretary later downplayed.
