Hi HN,<p>I’ve recently started using Homebrew on my macOS and have found it incredibly useful for managing software. While downloading from the official casks seems straightforward and secure, I’ve noticed that a lot of software is available through community-maintained casks.<p>I have a few concerns and questions regarding this:<p>* Is there a significant security risk in installing software from community-maintained casks?<p>* Could a malicious actor simply redirect the download link in the git code to malicious software?<p>* It seems that any hash checks are manually uploaded. How reliable are these in ensuring security?<p>I would love to hear the community’s thoughts on this and any best practices to mitigate potential risks.
