No, don’t stop. In fact if you upgraded to 10.13.1, launch the App Store app and go to the updates section. Apple just released a security patch update to fix this High Sierra security problem.
It seems to be the case with all software as it versions forward; things get fixed and things that were fixed get broken. You want to live with a software release that is pretty current, as a lot of software just won’t run if you’re using an OS that is too old.
On the other hand, you might not want to live right on the very latest release the moment it is released. No matter how much release testing is done, once a new version is released to the public that’s when the real testing begins with the myriad configurations running out in the real world.
Personally, after a major software release, like 10.13, I like to hang back for a few months to see how the release works in the real world. I was almost actually going to make the jump from 10.12.6 to 10.13.1, figuring there had already been the .1 upgrade within 10.13. In this case the .1 upgrade introduced the bug. *sigh*
Because the hackers who are out there are not really after the businesses. They are after your computer. . . and the updates always contain more security updates and improvements that keep your computer safe from those hackers than stupid mistakes like this especially idiotic one which really did not put you at all at risk from any of them because it required anyone who wanted to exploit it have physical access to your iMac.
