This is super bad right? Like anybody who has this running will be vulnerable to a super basic HTTP redirect -> installer running on their machine attack, right? And on top of that it's for something that is likely installed on _so many_ machines, right? I don't think I've ever seen something this exploitable that is so prevalent.

Who would connect to unknown person's hotspot? But it seems pretty trivial for some bad actor at local ISP.
Have you ever gone to a crowded public place and setup an open hotspot?
