I was configuring Windows Terminal(Preview) JSON file, but I encountered an error in JSON formatting So I posted it on online JSON validator. After that I realized that It contained some GUID's from Powershell, cmd, bash, Azure cloud shell.
After some research I found that GUIDs are unique to every person in the world and it is just a unique identifier. So can any sensitive information can be extracted from leaked GUID? I also tried to regenerate GUIDs in powershell and replaced all old GUIDs with new one but everytime I restart the Windows Terminal(Preview) app it just automatically regenerate same old GUIDs. So what is the solution now?
PS: My main concern here is just Security and Privacy
Sample config. file from random internet source(See the GUIDs)
