Setup/install scripts with curl-pipe-to-shell patterns
Scripts that download and immediately execute remote code (curl | bash) give an attacker full control over what runs if the remote URL is compromised. The code is never locally inspected before execution.
HOW VIBECHECK DETECTS THIS
vibecheck clones your repository and runs Gitleaks, Semgrep, njsscan, and a suite of custom checks targeting patterns common in AI-generated code. This check is part of the Repository Trust category. When a matching pattern is found, Claude triages the finding and produces a plain-English explanation and a concrete fix — no security expertise required.
