The primary concern with this code is the use of 'exec' to execute scripts fetched from the internet without validation. This poses a significant security risk as it can potentially execute malicious code. The use of 'os.spawnle' and 'subprocess.Popen' with user-provided inputs also adds to the security concerns. Additionally, there is a typo in 'Optarser' and incomplete handling of the temporary directory cleanup. http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py was marked as Malicious by 1 engine in VT. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/3dce83785eafd47d40edd58b58c82593994cd409fc76351033486881fe943c36

Socket detects and blocks malicious dependencies, often within just minutes of them being published to public registries, making it the most effective tool for blocking zero-day supply chain attacks.
Socket is built by a team of prolific open source maintainers whose software is downloaded over 1 billion times per month. We understand how to build tools that developers love. But don’t take our word for it.

I find it surprising that we don't have _more_ supply chain attacks in software:

This is an area that I have personally been very focused on. As Nat Friedman said in the 2019 GitHub Universe keynote, Open Source won, and every time you add a new open source project you rely on someone else's code and you rely on the people that build it.
This is both exciting and problematic. You are bringing real risk into your organization, and I'm excited to see progress in the industry from OpenSSF scorecards and package analyzers to the company that Feross Aboukhadijeh is building!
