The /rw path in TemplateBasedVMs allows system config changes to be persisted across reboots. We don't use this feature for the workstation, and successful exploits could attempt to use it to anchor malicious system config changes. We should investigate whether it is possible to disable this feature entirely for the sd-app VM, and potentially other VMs as well that do not require it.
