Codex v0.142.5 (July 1) patches a security issue where full Responses WebSocket request payloads could be written to trace logs, potentially exposing sensitive request data including code, file paths, and credentials in locally stored trace files. No user-facing feature changes in this release.

Why it matters

Prevents potential leakage of API request contents in locally stored trace logs; important for enterprise and team deployments where trace files may be shared or retained.

Importance: 2/5

Targeted security patch for Codex trace log exposure; no feature changes
