ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = delegate { return true; }; disables TLS certificate validation globally for the process, which is a critical security risk and can affect unrelated network calls in the same PowerShell session. Please gate this behind an explicit internal/test-only switch (e.g., environment variable/config + default off) and avoid a global override (prefer a per-client HttpClientHandler.ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback when constructing the Microsoft.Rest.ServiceClient).

@copilot check the justification in comment, this project is using httpclient which will not be affected by the ServicePointManager config

Confirmed. The clients here are AutoRest.ServiceClient<TClient> instances backed by HttpClient (created via CreateArmClient). Per the .NET docs, ServicePointManager settings no longer affect HttpClient or SslStream in modern .NET, so the CodeQL warning (SM02184) is a false positive in this context. The suppression comment on line 53 already captures this justification.
Updated ServerCertificateValidationCallback comment to include CodeQL warning and documentation link.
No Changelog.md needed, this is to bypass false positive codeql check.
