The work “exploit” is used several times but none of the code seems to exploit anything. Also, “malicious code” usually has a different meaning than something that intentionally makes the program crash during the installation process.
- rjmunro 7y agoI feel like this is only part of a wider attack - like by causing this not to download, it meant that users do some other action which opens them up to the real attack.
- jeltz 7y agoNah, it was probably a childish old maintainer who decided to sabotage it.
- samirm 7y agoAgreed about this not being an exploit, but this is definitely malicious code.
