Worried about Suspicious Exec file got installed

Hi, my mac is a M1 Macbook pro 16 inches (2021 model) running on MacOs Sonoma 14.7.2, recently i opened a .dmg file which was supposed to be one of the music production plugin, it opened me further to a file written as 'exec.' hurriedly installed it and it ran a script in 'terminal', which i'm worried that it might installed some phishing process or malware if someone could help in confirming if this script has done a trouble or my system is safe, attaching the screenshot hereby.

Ask your " from fellow musician friend to try upon " if this was a Microsoft Windows Executable file


If you were this Trusting of " fellow musician friend " they should have the answer, No ?


Normally, Microsoft Windows Executable files to nothing on macOS


Mac app security enhancements are sufficient to protect computers from malware.


Adware and malware can affect computers and are often downloaded from “shady” websites or developers untrusted " musician friend " who inject them into downloads.
