@claudius me too. I wonder if there is a #bash security analyzer that would look for common issues in scripts that people could put in the middle. Like pv, but a condom.

Whenever *I* see that, I save the script and at least give it a glance. But most people don't know bash as well as I do.

But if it could be normalized for such instructions to include that check, the source would check that their script won't trigger warnings, and the end user could have more confidence.
