🛡️ Sentinel: [HIGH] Fix insecure temporary file downloads in apt.sh#69
Conversation
…on in apt.sh This commit replaces insecure file downloads in `apt.sh` (which used `/tmp` paths and the local working directory) with a securely permissioned, dynamically generated temporary directory using `mktemp -d`. This prevents symlink attacks and unexpected file clobbering. Co-authored-by: kidchenko <5432753+kidchenko@users.noreply.github.com>

Fix markdown linting errors flagged by the pipeline.
The static analysis tool reports several markdownlint failures:
- MD041: First line should be a top-level heading (
#instead of##) - MD022: Heading should be followed by a blank line
- MD013: Lines 2-4 exceed 80 character limit

🚨 Severity: HIGH
💡 Vulnerability: The
apt.shscript downloaded executables (likeyqandgo) directly to predictably named, globally writable paths (e.g.,/tmp/yq), and generated temporary scripts (composer-setup.php) in the local working directory.🎯 Impact: This exposed the system to symlink attacks, race conditions, or malicious file overwriting if an attacker gained local access. It could also pollute the user's current working directory.
🔧 Fix: Added a secure temporary directory using
mktemp -dcombined with a cleanup trap (trap 'rm -rf "$TMP_DIR"' EXIT). Updated all insecure downloads to target this new directory instead.✅ Verification: Run
./build.sh(specifically syntax and linting checks) to verify no regressions were introduced. Examinetools/os_installers/apt.shto ensureTMP_DIRlogic is applied togo,yq,lsd, andcomposerinstallations.PR created automatically by Jules for task 14587082210010462086 started by @kidchenko
