Secrets stored in plain text in the state when setting an environment variable in a stack deployment settings.

[aureq]

What happened?

When using the code shown below, the stack state stores SECRET_ENV_VAR in plain text despite the value being marked as a secret. One, in the resource inputs and two, in the resource outputs.

Example

import pulumi
import pulumi_pulumiservice as pulumiservice

deployment_settings = pulumiservice.DeploymentSettings(
    resource_name = "deployment-settings",
    organization = pulumi.get_organization(),
    project = pulumi.get_project(),
    stack = pulumi.get_stack(),
    source_context = pulumiservice.DeploymentSettingsSourceContextArgs(
        git = pulumiservice.DeploymentSettingsGitSourceArgs(
            branch = "main",
            repo_url = "aureq/aws-py-eks-helm",
            git_auth = pulumiservice.DeploymentSettingsGitSourceGitAuthArgs(
                basic_auth = pulumiservice.DeploymentSettingsGitAuthBasicAuthArgs(
                    username = "aureq",
                    password = "<redacted>"
                )
            )
        )
    ),
    operation_context = pulumiservice.DeploymentSettingsOperationContextArgs(
        environment_variables = {
            "SECRET_ENV_VAR": pulumi.Output.secret('This should NOT be visible')
        }
    )
)
