Removed value from SecureString/PSCredential string conversion exception message

[ArmaanMcleod]

PR Summary

Fixes #19375

Removed value from exception message when [securestring] or ConvertFrom-SecureString fails to convert string to secure string.

Also removed value when string is casted to PSCredential.

PR Context

Current behaviour

Below shows string to convert in exception message which should not be shown in-case it is sensitive data like tokens, passwords etc.

PS C:\> [securestring]"p@ssword"
InvalidArgument: Cannot convert the "p@ssword" value of type "System.String" to type "System.Security.SecureString".

PS C:\> ConvertFrom-SecureString "p@assword"
ConvertFrom-SecureString: Cannot bind parameter 'SecureString'. Cannot convert the "p@assword" value of type "System.String" to type "System.Security.SecureString".

PS C>\> [pscredential]"p@assword"
InvalidArgument: Cannot convert the "p@assword" value of type "System.String" to type "System.Management.Automation.PSCredential".

New behaviour

Removes string entirely from exception message.

PS C:\> [securestring]"p@ssword"
InvalidArgument: Cannot convert the value of type "System.String" to type "System.Security.SecureString".

PS C:\> ConvertFrom-SecureString "p@assword"
ConvertFrom-SecureString: Cannot bind parameter 'SecureString'. Cannot convert the value of type "System.String" to type "System.Security.SecureString".

[pscredential]"p@assword"
InvalidArgument: Cannot convert the value of type "System.String" to type "System.Management.Automation.PSCredential".

WG said about PSCredential too.

WG said about PSCredential too.

@iSazonov Thanks for picking up on that. I've made some changes to also not expose the string in message when casting string to PSCredential.

[pull-request-quantifier-deprecated]

This PR has 28 quantified lines of changes. In general, a change size of upto 200 lines is ideal for the best PR experience!

Quantification details

Label      : Extra Small
Size       : +26 -2
Percentile : 11.2%

Total files changed: 4

Change summary by file extension:
.cs : +14 -2
.resx : +3 -0
.ps1 : +9 -0

Change counts above are quantified counts, based on the PullRequestQuantifier customizations.

Why proper sizing of changes matters

Optimal pull request sizes drive a better predictable PR flow as they strike a
balance between between PR complexity and PR review overhead. PRs within the
optimal size (typical small, or medium sized PRs) mean:

• Fast and predictable releases to production:
  • Optimal size changes are more likely to be reviewed faster with fewer
    iterations.
  • Similarity in low PR complexity drives similar review times.
• Review quality is likely higher as complexity is lower:
  • Bugs are more likely to be detected.
  • Code inconsistencies are more likely to be detected.
• Knowledge sharing is improved within the participants:
  • Small portions can be assimilated better.
• Better engineering practices are exercised:
  • Solving big problems by dividing them in well contained, smaller problems.
  • Exercising separation of concerns within the code changes.

What can I do to optimize my changes

• Use the PullRequestQuantifier to quantify your PR accurately
  • Create a context profile for your repo using the context generator
  • Exclude files that are not necessary to be reviewed or do not increase the review complexity. Example: Autogenerated code, docs, project IDE setting files, binaries, etc. Check out the Excluded section from your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
  • Understand your typical change complexity, drive towards the desired complexity by adjusting the label mapping in your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
  • Only use the labels that matter to you, see context specification to customize your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
• Change your engineering behaviors
  • For PRs that fall outside of the desired spectrum, review the details and check if:
    • Your PR could be split in smaller, self-contained PRs instead
    • Your PR only solves one particular issue. (For example, don't refactor and code new features in the same PR).

How to interpret the change counts in git diff output

• One line was added: +1 -0
• One line was deleted: +0 -1
• One line was modified: +1 -1 (git diff doesn't know about modified, it will
  interpret that line like one addition plus one deletion)
• Change percentiles: Change characteristics (addition, deletion, modification)
  of this PR in relation to all other PRs within the repository.
