/dev/null; then read -p " Homebrew 未安装。安装 Homebrew?[y/N] " -n 1 -r echo if [[ $REPLY =~ ^[Yy]$ ]]; then /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" fi fi ``` ### Technical Analysis The installer downloads a shell script from the mutable `HEAD` reference of the official Homebrew GitHub repository and immediately passes its contents to Bash. Although the source is the official Homebrew repository rather than a personal paste site, the effective payload is not fixed at audit time. No commit identifier, checksum, or cryptographic signature is verified before execution. The user's confirmation authorizes installing Homebrew, but it does not establish the integrity of the particular script returned by the remote server. This behavior is not required for the Skill's core document-analysis functionality. Homebrew can be installed separately as an explicit prerequisite, avoiding remote code execution inside the Skill installer. ### Attack Path 1. An attacker compromises the upstream repository, the referenced branch, a privileged maintainer account, or the content-delivery path. 2. The attacker modifies the script returned by `install/HEAD/install.sh`. 3. A user runs `setup.sh` on a machine without Homebrew and approves the installation prompt. 4. `curl` retrieves the modified payload. 5. Bash immediately executes the attacker-controlled script with the privileges of the installing user. 6. The payload can modify user files, install persistence, access data available to the user, or request elevated privileges through the normal Homebrew installation flow. ### Impact Assessment Successful exploitation provides arbitrary command execution under the installing user ...[truncated 311 chars]- Remediation
