Research direction

Review how install_script_agent7.sh and install_script_agent6.sh are currently published, then inspect the repository's GitHub Releases process. Done means the requested install scripts and corresponding SHA-256 checksum files are attached to releases and the documented sha256sum --check command succeeds.

Description

enhancement

To enhance security against software supply‑chain attacks, please provide the install script files (e.g. install_script_agent7.sh, install_script_agent6.sh) along with checksum files (e.g. SHA‑256) in the GitHub Releases for this repository.

Then we can validate checksum like this.

$ curl -O https://github.com/DataDog/agent-linux-install-script/releases/download/1.39.0/install_script_agent7.sh  
$ curl -O https://github.com/DataDog/agent-linux-install-script/releases/download/1.39.0/install_script_agent7.sh.sha256  
$ sha256sum --check install_script_agent7.sh.sha256
