An attacker can attach a script to a program that you download which then infects your computer. This is also known as a "Trojan horse" attack, where the malware is disguised as a legitimate program, tricking the user into downloading and running it. Once executed, the script can carry out a range of malicious actions, such as stealing sensitive information or taking control of the victim's computer.
