MEDIUM

Why flagged The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary archive (sreda.tar.xz) from dl.armgs.team, which is a non-standard, proprietary vendor host with no independently verifiable upstream source. The archive is extracted and installed as executable content under /opt/armgs. While a sha256sum is present, it only guarantees integrity against that specific host — if the host were compromised or the file swapped, users would receive malicious binaries. The domain armgs.team appears to be a small/niche vendor with no significant public presence, making independent verification difficult. This is a classic supply-chain risk pattern: prebuilt closed-source binary from a low-visibility host installed to a system path. The cheaper model's MEDIUM rating is correct here.

One or more source=() URLs point to a host outside the trusted allowlist (github.com, gitlab.com, codeberg.org, pypi.org, …).
