The instructions about the Guest Account just add to the confusion. AI, I think you should remove those steps.

Your instructions are incorrect. Disabling the root user doesn't help.

"You're enabling the root user EVERY time you use this vulnerability. Even if you disable the root user in Directory Utility, logging in with root and no password will re-enable the root user."

You really need to set a password for "root" (using the same Directory Utility tool & nearby menu). After Apple releases a fix, remember to come back and disable the root user.
