Why flagged The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary .deb from down.360safe.com (360's official CDN/download server for their security products), extracts it, and installs the binaries directly. While down.360safe.com is 360's own distribution host (not a random personal host), the concerns are: (1) no HTTPS used for the download, making it susceptible to MITM substitution; (2) a prebuilt closed-source binary is installed without any integrity verification beyond a sha512sum of the .deb — the sha512sum does provide meaningful protection against tampering in transit; (3) 360 is a Chinese security company with a history of privacy concerns. The sha512sum does mitigate the MITM risk to some degree. However, the use of plain HTTP for a binary download is a genuine supply-chain concern even with a checksum (the checksum itself could be stale or the upstream could silently replace the binary). The binary is executed code from a closed-source vendor distributed over HTTP. This warrants medium severity — it's not clearly malicious but represents a real supply-chain risk pattern.
