Dear , we noticed a *HUGE* security issue at MacOS High Sierra. Anyone can login as "root" with empty password after clicking on login button several times. Are you aware of it ?

You can access it via System Preferences>Users & Groups>Click the lock to make changes. Then use "root" with no password. And try it for several times. Result is unbelievable!

Was your test immediately after the installation/upgrade, before rebooting an extra time? I've seen a few quirks with HS that seem to clear after the extra reboot. Just wondering.
