Fixes https://github.com/PowerShell/PSResourceGet/security/code-scanning/5
To fix the problem, we need to ensure that sensitive information such as passwords is not transmitted in plain text. Instead, we should use secure methods to handle and transmit such data. One way to achieve this is by encrypting the sensitive information before transmission and decrypting it at the receiving end. Additionally, we should avoid logging or displaying sensitive information in error messages.
In this specific case, we will modify the code to encrypt the
contentvariable before it is assigned torequest.Content. We will also ensure that any sensitive information is not included in error messages.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
