This PR addresses several security and correctness issues in copyables/entrypoint.sh:

  1. Unquoted Variable Expansion: adduser $username $password was unquoted. If a password contained spaces (e.g., "pass word"), it would be split into multiple arguments, causing only the first part ("pass") to be used as the password. If it contained glob characters (e.g., "pass*"), it could expand to filenames in the current directory.
  2. read without -r: The read command was used without -r to parse usernames and passwords. This meant that backslashes in passwords (e.g., "pass\word") would be interpreted as escape characters, altering the password.
  3. Globbing in Dynamic Commands: The processing of VPNCMD_SERVER and VPNCMD_HUB executed commands directly from the variable. While word splitting is intended here to parse arguments, globbing was not disabled. A command string containing * could expand to filenames. The fix wraps these executions with set -f (disable globbing) and set +f (re-enable globbing).

Verified with a reproduction script that confirmed the vulnerability and the fix.

- Quote variables in `adduser` calls to prevent word splitting and globbing of passwords.
- Use `read -r` to prevent backslash interpretation in usernames and passwords.
- Disable globbing (`set -f`) when executing dynamic commands from `VPNCMD_*` environment variables to prevent unintended file expansion.

This fixes potential issues where passwords containing spaces would be truncated, and passwords containing special characters (like `*` or `\`) would be mishandled or trigger globbing.
