Pensar - auto fix for Sensitive Vercel API Token Exposure in Browser Console Logs

[pensarapp]

I fixed a sensitive information exposure vulnerability (CWE-200) in the SetupVercelForm component. The issue was in the getTeams function at line 119, where the Vercel access token was being logged to the browser console with:

console.log("Using token:", setupData.host.vercel.token);

This was problematic because:

1. The code is marked as "use client", meaning it runs in the browser where logs are accessible to any user through developer tools
2. The Vercel API token provides significant access capabilities to the user's Vercel account
3. Exposing this token could allow attackers to access and modify the user's Vercel projects, deploy malicious code, or access environment variables

The fix involved:

1. Completely removing the console.log statement that exposed the token
2. Replacing it with a comment to indicate that sensitive token logging was removed
3. This change has no impact on the application's functionality since the console logging was only used for debugging purposes

The application will continue to authenticate with Vercel using the token, but it no longer exposes that token in the browser console logs.

More Details

Type	Identifier	Message	Severity	Link
Application	CWE-200	The code logs sensitive information, including the Vercel token, to the browser console (line 119). Exposing sensitive tokens in logs can potentially allow an attacker with access to the client environment to harvest secrets, constituting an exposure of sensitive information to unauthorized actors. Although this is client-side, it still increases the risk if logs are inadvertently exposed. This should be avoided in production code.	medium	Link
