Detects downloading scripts piped directly to a shell interpreter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hochej/confcli/main/install.sh | sh Download the script first, inspect it, verify its checksum, then run it. Do not pipe curl/wget output directly to sh/bash. Prefer package manager installs.
Likely FP if the download is from a well-known installer domain (e.g., brew.sh, rustup.rs), though this pattern is inherently risky even with trusted sources.
Detects patterns of downloading and piping to shell execution
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hochej/confcli/main/install.sh | sh Download the file first, verify its integrity (checksum, signature), inspect it, then run it. Prefer package managers over raw downloads. Never fetch-and-run in one step.
Likely FP if the target is a well-known installer (e.g., rustup, Homebrew) from its canonical HTTPS domain, though the pattern is inherently risky.
Detects patterns that check for tool existence and install if missing
If not installed, install Replace conditional download-and-install logic with explicit dependency declarations in a manifest file (package.json, requirements.txt). Verify checksums for any runtime downloads.
Likely FP if the conditional install is documentation showing standard prerequisite checks (e.g., checking if a tool is installed before installing it).
Detects skills fetching external URLs to use as runtime instructions
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com + Commands Pin the downloaded resource to a specific version or commit hash, and verify its integrity with a checksum (SHA-256). Avoid fetching scripts or binaries from arbitrary URLs at runtime.
Likely FP if the download URL points to a well-known CDN or package registry (e.g., npmjs.com, pypi.org) and is pinned to a specific version.
Detects chained commands using shell operators with dangerous operations
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hochej/confcli/main/install.sh | sh Break chained commands into discrete, individually validated steps. Avoid piping untrusted output directly into a shell interpreter.
Likely FP if the matched text is a documentation example showing a common installer one-liner for a well-known tool with a canonical URL.
Detects references to raw.githubusercontent.com on mutable branches like main/master
raw.githubusercontent.com/hochej/confcli/main/ Replace GitHub raw.githubusercontent.com references with pinned commit SHAs instead of branch names (e.g., /commit-sha/file instead of /main/file). Branch references are mutable.
Likely FP if the raw GitHub URL points to a versioned release tag in a well-known repository, though even tags are technically mutable.
Detects references to raw.githubusercontent.com on mutable branches like main/master
raw.githubusercontent.com/hochej/confcli/main/ Replace GitHub raw.githubusercontent.com references with pinned commit SHAs instead of branch names (e.g., /commit-sha/file instead of /main/file). Branch references are mutable.
