GitHub Copilot CLI adds masked credential prompts and regex permission rules

GitHub shipped Copilot CLI v1.0.110 on November 12, 2026 with an experimental masked-input handler for password prompts, then followed a day later with pre-release v1.0.111-0 adding regex permission rules.

GitHub released Copilot CLI v1.0.110 on November 12, 2026, adding an experimental feature that lets the CLI handle git, ssh and sudo password prompts triggered by agent commands through a masked input dialog, according to the Copilot CLI v1.0.110 release notes.

What changed in the two releases

  • Copilot CLI v1.0.110 shipped on November 12, 2026 at 22:59 UTC with an experimental masked-input handler for git, ssh and sudo password prompts triggered by agent commands, enabled via /experimental on.
  • v1.0.110 also improves screen-reader session identification and terminal-width handling, and fixes Vim-mode navigation, MCP config reload and settings persistence.
  • GitHub published pre-release v1.0.111-0 on November 13, 2026 at 02:15 UTC.
  • v1.0.111-0 adds regular-expression support for permission rules, letting teams finely allow or deny specific agent actions.
  • v1.0.111-0 also adds a flag for remote session creation and faster availability of indexed search results.

Why it matters for people who build with AI

The masked-input handler removes a common blocker for autonomous CLI coding agents that shell out to git, ssh or sudo, which previously stalled on password prompts or risked leaking credentials in plaintext. The new regex-based permission rules give security teams finer-grained control over which agent actions are allowed or denied, a prerequisite for rolling agents out under policy in larger teams.

Availability

The masked-input feature in v1.0.110 is experimental and must be turned on with /experimental on. The regex permission rules, remote session creation flag and faster indexed search results ship in pre-release v1.0.111-0, published a day after v1.0.110.
