Previous version was vulnerable to command injection, for example if I set my password to

foo'$(id)'bar

the actual command would become

sudo bash hst-install.sh --password 'foo'$(id)'bar' 

and the actual password would become:

foouid=1002(hans) gid=1002(hans) groups=1002(hans),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),27(sudo),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),100(users),107(netdev)bar

but with this the command becomes

sudo bash hst-install.sh --password 'foo'\''$(id)'\''bar' 

and the password becomes literally

foo'$(id)'bar
