What happened?
checkDisallowedChars() method should be protected or contain is_cli() handling since CLI functions might use disallowed characters e.g. hidden UNC paths are marked with $ sign.
Steps to Reproduce
Create a function wich takes UNC path as argument and use hidden windows share UNC path as argument e.g. \\SHARE\thisishidden$
Expected Output
When using cli commands it is not mandatory to enforce disallowed characters policy or at least checkDisallowedChars() should be marked as protected so it can be overridden without any need to tamper with CI system files.
Anything else?
No response
Why would you need to pass a UNC path to a CLI command? This seems to be a misuse. If you could please provide further details so we can assess.
