Summary of Changes

Hello @cornmander, I'm Gemini Code Assist[^1]! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly bolsters the security posture of PowerShell command execution within the application. It ensures that PowerShell sessions operate under a strict Constrained Language Mode, limiting access to sensitive system functionalities. Furthermore, it enhances the system's ability to detect and prevent the execution of potentially malicious or unintended PowerShell commands by meticulously parsing and validating command structures.

Highlights

  • PowerShell Security Enhancement: Enforces Constrained Language Mode for PowerShell sessions to prevent risky .NET access and other potentially unsafe operations, enhancing overall security.
  • Improved PowerShell Command Detection: Introduces more robust parsing logic to identify and block a wider range of disallowed PowerShell command invocations, including scriptblock creation, .NET method calls, and complex call operator usages.
  • Comprehensive Test Coverage: Adds new unit tests to validate both the enforcement of Constrained Language Mode and the enhanced PowerShell command detection capabilities, ensuring reliability and correctness.
