Findings (6)

HIGH
Curl or wget piped to shell
L29

Detects downloading scripts piped directly to a shell interpreter

curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash
FIX

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.

FP?

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.

MEDIUM
Privilege escalation
L29

Detects privilege escalation patterns like setuid, chown root, or sudo with shell commands

sudo bash
FIX

Avoid depending on packages that could be subject to typosquatting or name confusion. Verify package ownership, check download counts, and audit the package source before adding dependencies.

FP?

Likely FP if the flagged package is a well-known, high-download-count package from a verified publisher.

LOW
System package manager install
L26

Detects system-level package installation via brew, apt, yum, or dnf

brew install r
FIX

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.

FP?

Likely FP if the match is standard setup documentation listing well-known system packages (e.g., apt install git curl) that are prerequisites.

LOW
Chained shell command execution
L29

Detects chained commands using shell operators with dangerous operations

curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo 
FIX

Break chained commands into discrete, individually validated steps. Avoid piping untrusted output directly into a shell interpreter.

FP?

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.

LOW
System package manager install
L32

Detects system-level package installation via brew, apt, yum, or dnf

apt install r
FIX

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.

FP?

Likely FP if the match is standard setup documentation listing well-known system packages (e.g., apt install git curl) that are prerequisites.

LOW
System package manager install
L33

Detects system-level package installation via brew, apt, yum, or dnf

dnf install r
FIX

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.

FP?

Likely FP if the match is standard setup documentation listing well-known system packages (e.g., apt install git curl) that are prerequisites.
