Yes. I had a pretty bad one from a commercial software company. Running any script someone else wrote badly intentionally or otherwise is dangerous. The source is moot. Rather than provide distribution packages they had a shell script that installed and updated their stuff. If you ran the update script it would evaluate rm -rf $(SOFTWARE_ROOT)/
That environment variable was not set if the software hadn’t been installed and it wouldn’t run unless it was a root shell.
Guess who ran the update script instead of the install script and hosed the machine? I gave them a whole lifetime of bile over that.

The product turned out to be horrible as well.
