Dangerous macOS High Sierra bug gives full admin access to your system without password

There are bugs that are harmless and plain annoying and then there are those that pose great danger. This recently spotted bug on the macOS High Sierra is of the dangerous variety. Developer Lemi Ergin discovered and shared on Twitter a bug that affects High Sierra 10.13.1 and macOS 10.13.2 beta. It lets anyone log into an admin account using the username “root” without having to put in a password. It works both when attempting to access an administrator’s account on an unlocked Mac and when accessing it through the login screen of a locked Mac. It basically gives access to all things on the computer. Until this issue is resolved, we take MacRumors suggestion of enabling a root account with a password to stop the bug from working.
