MEDIUM

Why flagged The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary .deb from the official vendor's own website (atelierb.eu, the legitimate Atelier B tool publisher), which is a reasonable source for a proprietary industrial tool. However, two real concerns remain: (1) sha256sums=('SKIP') means there is no integrity verification whatsoever — if the file is silently replaced on the server or the CDN is compromised, the user would install a tampered binary with no warning; (2) the package extracts and installs a prebuilt binary blob directly into the system, which is inherently a supply-chain trust issue even from the official vendor. The host itself (atelierb.eu) is the legitimate upstream, so this is not a personal/unofficial host concern, but the missing checksum combined with executed binary installation keeps this at medium rather than clean/low.

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