Notes: The script is a thin installer helper that downloads and runs a user-supplied macOS .pkg with sudo. The script itself contains no embedded malware or obfuscation, but it provides a high-risk primitive: executing arbitrary installer payloads as root without integrity checks. This makes it suitable for supply-chain abuse or full system compromise if the fetched package or the network stream is controlled by an attacker. Do not run this script with untrusted URLs; require cryptographic verification, whitelisting, or manual inspection before installation.
