MEDIUM

Why flagged This PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary (a GTK application compiled for Ubuntu 21.04) from the author's personal domain (sikorskiy.net) and installs it directly into /usr/bin. There is no source code compilation, no verification beyond a sha256sum, and the binary is a closed 'freeware' executable from an unofficial personal host. This is a genuine supply-chain concern: if the host is compromised or the maintainer swaps the binary, users would execute arbitrary code. The sha256sum provides some integrity guarantee but only against the current file — it does not protect against future substitution. The cheaper model's MEDIUM rating is correct here.

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, …).
