: High-profile reports from security firms like SentinelOne , Objective-See , and Jamf often cite this exact string when documenting macOS-specific adware or trojans (such as Shlayer or Bundlore ). These papers detail how scripts use curl or wget to "download remote pkg installer" files to bypass standard gatekeeper protections.

The phrase "Download remote pkg installer pkg" is frequently associated with and security research papers focused on macOS threats . It typically refers to a specific command-line activity or a characteristic of "dropper" malware that fetches a secondary payload (a .pkg file) from a remote server to install on a target system.

: Research on Software Supply Chain Attacks often uses "remote pkg installers" as a primary case study for how legitimate package management tools can be subverted to execute remote code.

If you are looking for a specific paper, could you clarify if you are researching a (like Shlayer) or looking for a technical tutorial on remote deployment?

: Patrick Wardle’s annual research papers often break down these installation methods. You can find detailed technical breakdowns of these remote installers on Objective-See's research blog .

While there isn't a single "famous" paper with this exact title, this specific behavior is a central theme in several notable security research publications:
