What You Are Seeing?

Chocolatey CLI has a number of logging levels, including debug, verbose and trace. Each one of these levels increases the level of detail included in the output. trace in particular includes low level logging around outgoing requests to the configured sources. Based on conversations within the team, the decision has been taken to only allow trace logging when running in an elevated session.

What is Expected?

No sensitive information should be output to the console when using the --trace option, when not running in an elevated session.

How Did You Get This To Happen?

Run choco search --trace
