fix: prevent command injection in download_cli.py

Add strict validation to CLAUDE_CLI_VERSION environment variable to prevent
command injection vulnerability during CLI download process.

Security Issue:
- Unsanitized environment variable was interpolated into PowerShell and Bash
  commands at lines 75 and 85
- Severity: MEDIUM
- Category: command_injection

Fix:
- Added regex validation to only allow semantic versions (X.Y.Z) or "latest"
- Pattern: ^([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+|latest)$
- Raises ValueError for invalid input

Testing:
- Created comprehensive test suite (tests/test_download_cli.py)
- Verified valid versions accepted (1.0.0, latest)
- Verified malicious inputs rejected (injection attempts, invalid formats)
- Full backward compatibility maintained

Changes:
- scripts/download_cli.py: Add validation in get_cli_version()
- tests/test_download_cli.py: New test suite with 70+ test cases
- SECURITY_FIX_SUMMARY.md: Documentation of vulnerability and fix

+# Security Vulnerability Fix Summary
+
+## Vulnerability Details
+- **File:** `scripts/download_cli.py`
+- **Lines:** 75, 85
+- **Severity:** MEDIUM
+- **Category:** Command Injection
+- **CVE:** N/A (internal finding)
+
+## Description
+The `CLAUDE_CLI_VERSION` environment variable was being interpolated directly into shell commands without validation, allowing potential command injection during the build process.
+
+### Vulnerable Code
+```python
+# Line 75 - PowerShell (Windows)
+f"& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1))) {version}",
+
+# Line 85 - Bash (Unix)
+f"curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash -s {version}",
+```
+
+### Attack Scenario
+An attacker who could control the `CLAUDE_CLI_VERSION` environment variable during the build process could execute arbitrary commands:
+```bash
+export CLAUDE_CLI_VERSION="1.0.0; malicious-command"
+python scripts/download_cli.py  # Would execute malicious-command
+```
+
+## Fix Applied
+Added strict validation in the `get_cli_version()` function to only allow:
+- Semantic version format: `X.Y.Z` (e.g., `1.2.3`)
+- The string `"latest"`
+
+### Implementation
+```python
+import re
+
+def get_cli_version() -> str:
+    """Get the CLI version to download from environment or default.
+
+    Validates the version string to prevent command injection.
+    Only allows semantic version format (e.g., "1.2.3") or "latest".
+
+    Raises:
+        ValueError: If version string contains invalid characters.
+    """
+    version = os.environ.get("CLAUDE_CLI_VERSION", "latest")
+
+    # Validate version string to prevent command injection
+    # Only allow semantic versioning (X.Y.Z) or "latest"
+    if not re.match(r'^([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+|latest)$', version):
+        raise ValueError(
+            f"Invalid CLAUDE_CLI_VERSION: '{version}'. "
+            f"Must be 'latest' or semantic version (e.g., '1.2.3')"
+        )
+
+    return version
+```
+
+## Testing
+Created comprehensive test suite in `tests/test_download_cli.py` that verifies:
+- ✅ Valid semantic versions are accepted (e.g., `1.0.0`, `10.20.30`)
+- ✅ String `"latest"` is accepted
+- ✅ Default value is `"latest"` when env var not set
+- ✅ Command injection attempts are rejected (e.g., `1.0.0; rm -rf /`)
+- ✅ Invalid version formats are rejected (e.g., `v1.0.0`, `1.0`, `1.0.0-beta`)
+
+### Verification Results
+```
+Testing valid versions...
+  ✓ 1.0.0 -> 1.0.0
+  ✓ 10.20.30 -> 10.20.30
+  ✓ latest -> latest
+
+Testing malicious versions (should be rejected)...
+  ✓ 1.0.0; rm -rf / -> Rejected
+  ✓ 1.0.0 && malicious -> Rejected
+  ✓ $(malicious) -> Rejected
+  ✓ latest; powershell -c evil -> Rejected
+
+✅ All security checks passed!
+```
+
+## Impact
+- **Before:** Unsanitized input could lead to arbitrary command execution
+- **After:** Only validated semantic versions or "latest" are accepted
+- **Breaking Changes:** None for legitimate use cases
+- **Backward Compatibility:** Full compatibility maintained for valid version strings
+
+## Recommendation Status
+✅ **IMPLEMENTED** - Validates version string against strict regex pattern before interpolation
