Apple releases patch for egregious macOS High Sierra security flaw

A day after it was revealed that macOS High Sierra had a massive security problem that allowed unauthorized users to easily log into a Mac with admin access, Apple has released a patch for the bug.

Yesterday Twitter user Lemi Ergin publicly revealed that if a user types "root" into the User Name field that comes up when making changes to System Preferences, and then hitting enter, the user will gain root-user access. They'll also be able to log into the Mac anytime simply by going to "Other" at login and typing the "root" username again.
