Security Findings2

Severity	Finding	Layer	Location
CRITICAL	Arbitrary command execution Remote code download piped to interpreter Review all shell execution calls. Ensure commands are static (not built from user input), use absolute paths, and are strictly necessary. Prefer library APIs over shell commands.	Manifest	skills/hf-cli/SKILL.md:2
CRITICAL	Remote code execution: curl/wget pipe to shell Detected a pattern that downloads and immediately executes remote code. This is a primary malware delivery vector. Never pipe curl/wget output directly to a shell interpreter.	Static	skills/hf-cli/SKILL.md:2
