criticalRemote script piped into a shellA shell script downloads remote content and executes it directly (e.g. `curl … | bash`). The payload is never stored or reviewable and can change server-side — a classic malware/backdoor install pattern.install.sh

USAGE:
    curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mesamirh/MovieBox-Tui/main/install.sh | bash -s -- [OPTIONS]
    ./install.sh [OPTIONS]

Scores are heuristics. A “safe” verdict means no known-malicious patterns were found — clever malware can look boring. Wrong verdict? Flag it above; confirmed false positives become regression tests.
