PowerShell Password Variable converted into HTML Code

Hello,

Do you use the latest release 2022.1.27 or the latest beta 2022.2.11?

I cannot reproduce this behaviour within RDM 2022.1.27.

What entry type are you using to run the PowerShell script?

The following script is embedded in a PowerShell Macro/Script/Tool entry type.



When running it against a session entry like an RDP entry, it works properly.



Best regards,

Hi,

I'm using 2022.1.27


I'm using the PowerShell session entry


Credentails are being pulled from Secret Server


And have embedded the script


And the script looks something like this

$secStringPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString ($PASSWORD$) -AsPlainText -Force
$Credentials = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $Username, $secStringPassword

If I the run the command $Credentials.GetNetworkCredential().Password a lot of hte special characters have been escaped into HTML code.
This is also true if I simply create a variable using $PASSWORD$, so it's nothing to do with creating PowerShell credentials

Here is a test script I have written


An the output from the console

And then a simplfied version of the script


And the output

Hello,

I forgot to mention that this issue occurs when the Credentials property is set to Linked (Vault). When the Credentials property is set to custom and the username/password is saved in the entry itself, it's working properly.
