MEDIUM
View on AUR ↗
Why flagged
The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt AMD APP SDK installer tarball (a self-extracting shell script executed in the build() function via `bash ${_scriptname}${_bits}.sh --noexec --target ...`) from archive.org rather than the official AMD developer domain. Archive.org is a third-party host where the content of a specific item can be replaced or tampered with by the uploader, and the URL is not immutable in the same way a versioned release artifact on an official vendor CDN would be. The sha256sums are architecture-conditional (set at parse time via shell logic), which is a non-standard but functional pattern. The checksums do exist and are architecture-specific, providing some integrity guarantee, but the trust anchor is archive.org rather than AMD's own infrastructure. Since the tarball contains a self-extracting installer that is directly executed during build, a compromised archive.org item would result in arbitrary code execution. This is a genuine medium-severity supply-chain concern: executed binary/installer from a non-official host, not clearly malicious but not verifiable against the original vendor.
