Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Weak Authentication: The user conversion script historically assigned a hardcoded password of 'atlas' during account conversion, exposing newly converted user accounts to immediate authentication compromise. Developers must avoid hardcoding passwords and default to empty or user-defined credentials.

Auth Bypass: Leaving the 'defaultuser0' account active after the Out of Box Experience (OOBE) allows potential unauthorized access. Ensuring configuration tasks explicitly delete this remnant account is vital for securing the final deployment state.

Command Injection: Unsafe expansion of command-line arguments within elevated PowerShell sessions allows local attackers to inject commands. Input arguments must always be passed securely using environment variables ($env:___args) rather than inline string interpolation.
