For CIS ID os_show_filename_extensions_enable: I believe there is a space missing in the CURRENT_USER variable. This is displayed only in the adoc/guidance files. Compliance scripts aren't affected.

Currently:
CURRENT_USER=$( /usr/sbin/scutil <<< "show State:/Users/ConsoleUser" \| /usr/bin/awk '/Name :/ && ! /loginwindow/ { print $3 }' )

Should be:
CURRENT_USER=$( /usr/sbin/scutil <<< "show State:/Users/ConsoleUser" \ | /usr/bin/awk '/Name :/ && ! /loginwindow/ { print $3 }' )

Focused:
currently: ...ConsoleUser" \| /usr/bin/awk...
should be: ...ConsoleUser" \ | /usr/bin/awk...

Device Info:
