Dangerous OTA behaviour between build 143 and 145 - Cree - 08-15-2020

It seems something about build 143 changed the OTA updates to not only auto download but attempt to automatically install on reboot. Not my personal settings, just what it did. For my the update attempt was triggered on charging after a flat battery. As can be expected, it wasnt initialized properly and the update froze. Had to do hard reset. This seems dangerous as far as potentially corrupting devices especially with the known firmware vulnerability in the modem. Wanted to warn the dev team about this. Better keep our PPs safe and only install upon click.
