The project extensively uses a 'secrets' module for sensitive data handling. On Windows, it leverages DPAPI for encryption. However, on non-Windows platforms (Linux/macOS), the default 'PlainProvider' stores secrets as base64 encoded text without encryption, which is a critical security vulnerability for sensitive data. The tool explicitly warns users about this limitation. The use of `execSync` for PowerShell commands in the DPAPI provider is carefully implemented with input sanitization and `EncodedCommand` to mitigate command injection risks. Network requests for registry access include timeouts and standard headers, and API keys are sent as Bearer tokens. XSS prevention is implemented in HTML report generation, and atomic file operations with locking are used for config updates.
