Detects patterns of downloading and piping to shell execution
curl -sL https://sentry.io/get-cli/ | bash 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 downloading scripts piped directly to a shell interpreter
curl -sL https://sentry.io/get-cli/ | bash 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 system-level package installation via brew, apt, yum, or dnf
brew install s Pin system packages to specific versions where the package manager supports it. Document the exact packages required and prefer containerized environments to avoid system-wide changes.
Likely FP if the match is standard setup documentation listing well-known system packages (e.g., apt install git curl) that are prerequisites.
Detects global installation of packages which affects the host system
npm install -g @ Replace npm install -g with a local install (npm install --save-dev) or use npx with a pinned version. Global installs modify the system and risk supply chain attacks.
Likely FP if the global install is for a well-known CLI tool (e.g., typescript, eslint) in setup documentation, though the supply chain risk remains real.
Detects chained commands using shell operators with dangerous operations
curl -sL https://sentry.io/get-cli/ | bash 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.
