🎯 What: The auto-updater hardcoded the mount path (/Volumes/Click2Minimize) when attaching the downloaded application DMG.
⚠️ Risk: An attacker or malicious process could preemptively mount a volume at /Volumes/Click2Minimize with a compromised Click2Minimize.app. The auto-updater would then inadvertently copy and install the malicious application to /Applications and run it, leading to arbitrary code execution under the user's privileges.
🛡️ Solution: Modified the hdiutil attach command to include -plist and -nobrowse arguments, and to pipe its standard output. Parsed the output using PropertyListSerialization to dynamically resolve the actual mount-point assigned by the system, ensuring the correct, newly downloaded DMG is always copied.
