MEDIUM

Why flagged The package installs a binary with setuid permissions (chmod u+s), which is a privileged operation that can pose a security risk if the binary is compromised or misused.

Triggered rules

MEDIUM Privileged / out-of-pacman install (sudoers, setuid, or self-update) privileged_install

The package grants elevated privileges or installs an update path outside pacman: a /etc/sudoers.d rule (often passwordless), a setuid/setgid binary, or a self-update script/service that can fetch and run future code with no checksum verification. The initial install may be verified, but the ongoing privilege + update surface is a real supply-chain / privilege-escalation risk.

PKGBUILD:47 chmod u+s "${pkgdir}/usr/share/${_file}/${_file1}"

MEDIUM AI review llm_review
