[BUG]: SSL handshake error with some Azure CLI commands using the PowerShell@2 core

[pumaloso]

What happened?

After upgrading agent to latest version (3.241.0) the following error SSL errors started to appear when using the PowerShell@2 core task:

ERROR: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self-signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:1006).
Certificate verification failed. This typically happens when using Azure CLI behind a proxy that intercepts traffic with a self-signed certificate. Please add this certificate to the trusted CA bundle. More info: https://docs.microsoft.com/cli/azure/use-cli-effectively#work-behind-a-proxy.

Tried to fix it with well-known suggestions without success.
