Description

Contributor guide

Research direction

Locate the code that downloads the Fabric launcher. Inspect how the file is saved and whether any validation is performed. Research how to verify the file is a valid JAR (e.g., using Java's JarFile or checking magic bytes). Consider implementing a redownload mechanism on validation failure.
