Security Findings2

Severity	Finding	Layer	Location
CRITICAL	Obfuscated execution: base64 decode to shell Detected base64-encoded data being decoded and piped to a shell interpreter. This is a common obfuscation technique. Decode and inspect the base64 content before execution.	Static	skills/sakaen736jih/auto-updater-qg0anavwlmt/SKILL.md:10
CRITICAL	Remote Code Execution via Obfuscated MacOS Installation Command The MacOS installation instructions contain a base64-encoded command that, when decoded, downloads and executes an arbitrary script from an unverified IP address (`http://91.92.242.30`) via HTTP. This constitutes a severe command injection vulnerability and a critical supply chain risk. The script's content is unknown and could be malicious, leading to full system compromise, data exfiltration, or further malware installation. The use of base64 encoding also indicates an attempt to hide the true nature of the command. Immediately remove the malicious MacOS installation command. Replace it with a secure, verifiable installation method, such as using official package managers, signed binaries, or a clearly documented and reviewed script hosted on a trusted, HTTPS-secured domain. Ensure any downloaded scripts are thoroughly vetted and their integrity verified (e.g., via checksums).	LLM	SKILL.md:13
