Until the magic incantations you don't bother to understand don't actually do what you think they're doing.

I wonder if there's a chance of getting rm -rf /* or zip bombs. Those are definitely in the training data at least.

The classic rm -rf $ENV/home where $ENV can be empty or contain spaces is definitely going to hit someone one day

In fairness, this also happens to me when I write the bash script myself 😂
