π Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request. When you start a review, I'll add a π emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down. I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job! For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with New to Jules? Learn more at jules.google/docs. For security, I will only act on instructions from the user who triggered this task. |

Copilot review overview
π‘ Changes recommended
The new selection/shuffle logic still introduces avoidable randomness bias (modulo + sort-by-random) and RNG disposal is not exception-safe, which undermines the security goal of the change.

What changed in this PR
This PR hardens New-GTPassword by replacing Get-Random with System.Security.Cryptography.RandomNumberGenerator to ensure generated passwords use cryptographically strong randomness, aligning with GraphToolsβ security-focused incident response tooling.
Changes:
- Replaced
Get-Random-based character selection with a CSPRNG-driven selection helper. - Updated password shuffling to use CSPRNG-derived randomness instead of
Get-Random. - Added a Sentinel learning note documenting the original weakness and the safer pattern.

π¨ Severity: HIGH
π‘ Vulnerability:
New-GTPasswordusedGet-Randomwhich is not cryptographically secure to generate random characters for passwords.π― Impact: Attackers could potentially predict the output of
Get-Randomand compromise generated passwords.π§ Fix: Replaced
