Why flagged

This PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary ('appstart') from a personal Gitee repository's attachment storage (not a tagged release artifact, but a raw file attachment with a numeric ID). The binary is installed directly to /usr/bin with 777 permissions. The source host is a personal Gitee project with no verifiable build provenance — the attachment URL format (attach_files/905085/download/) is not tied to any tagged release or reproducible build. MD5 checksums are present but MD5 is cryptographically weak and insufficient to establish trust in an unverified binary. The combination of: (1) prebuilt binary from a personal/unofficial host, (2) no source code build, (3) weak integrity check, and (4) direct installation as an executable constitutes a genuine supply-chain concern. The cheaper model's MEDIUM rating is correct.

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, …).
