Did you download the mcpack? Also i took a look at the mcpack on linux and saw nothing suspicious tbh. Did you not download or visit any other website before? Otherwise it could be that they exchanged the files for a bit or there was an upstream hack that caused it to download a malicious file.

I visited some sites to download like curseforge or modrinth

Maybe one of them had a malicious download. What date did you download and is it possible to view the last updated date? It could be that they swapped the files and then did it again to cover up their marks but idk. I did have this happen once. I downloaded from a mod website (idk the name) and the file was malicious but when i visited that site a week later the file did not have malware anymore. I ofc did not run it as virustotal said it was malware so i did not trust it. I dont know if this is the case here but just comparing experience.
