MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from a non-whitelisted host (assets.alfaview.com), which is not a standard code forge or vendor domain, and the checksum is provided but the source is an unverifiable binary blob, creating a supply-chain risk if the host were compromised.

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, …).

PKGBUILD:14 source=("https://assets.alfaview.com/stable/linux/deb/${pkgname}_${pkgver}.deb")
