如果我“不限制”本地计算机的执行策略，潜在的威胁是什么？

Question

I installed oh-my-posh but the profile script for PowerShell was not working correctly. I found out PowerShell execution policy is restricted by default. I have changed the setting following Microsoft's About Execution Policy page.

What is the security threat of unrestricted execution?

Answer 1

The default is remotesigned now anyway. But anyone can override it by running "powershell -executionpolicy bypass". The purpose is to stop unknowingly running a PowerShell script, say from an email attachment, like the good old days of getting vbscripts in email.
