MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt binary tarball (ampinstmgr-2.7.2.8.x86_64.tgz) from repo.cubecoders.com, which is CubeCoder's own release infrastructure for their AMP product. This is the official vendor host, not a personal or third-party mirror. However, the concern is real: it is a prebuilt executable blob (not source-built), served over plain HTTP (not HTTPS), with a sha256sum check. The HTTP-only download means the checksum is the only integrity protection — there is no TLS to prevent MITM substitution before the hash check. The binary is installed system-wide and executed as a privileged service. This is a genuine medium-severity supply-chain concern (prebuilt binary from vendor over plain HTTP), but not a high-severity attack — the host is the legitimate vendor, the checksum is present, and there is no obfuscation or exfiltration. The license is listed as 'unknown', which is a minor issue but not a security flag.
