Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .pkg.tar.zst binary package from a non-standard host (aimp.ru) which is not a common upstream source for AUR packages, and while aimp.ru is plausibly the official project site, the download of a precompiled binary with a SKIP'd checksum would allow a malicious or compromised host to silently replace the payload, posing a supply-chain risk.

Triggered rules

Medium source=() URL on a non-standard host source_untrusted_domain

One or more source=() URLs point to a host outside the trusted allowlist (github.com, gitlab.com, codeberg.org, pypi.org, …).
