Module

PSScriptAnalyzer

Summary

PSScriptAnalyzer added a new rule, PSAvoidUsingBrokenHashAlgorithms. The documentation for this rule should be added to the official docset. This rule warns a developer when they use a broken algorithm.

Details

The rule warns when a code statement uses either the MD5 or SHA1 hash algorithm, as those algorithms have been broken.

For example, this code violates the new rule:

Get-FileHash ./foo.txt -Algorithm SHA1
