Steps to reproduce

Try to execute the following on MacOS with PS 7.4.5:
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12 -bor [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls13

Expected behavior

Not crashing

Actual behavior

PSReadline spits out an exception

Start by reproducing the issue on macOS with PowerShell 7.4.5 using the reported SecurityProtocol assignment. Review the PSReadLine and PowerShell Editor Services stack entries, especially PsrlReadLine.cs, to locate where the exception reaches the REPL. Done means the command executes without PSReadLine crashing.
