Why flagged

The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary .deb from atelierb.eu (the official vendor website for the Atelier B industrial tool), extracts it, and installs it directly. The host is the legitimate upstream vendor, not a random personal or unofficial host, which reduces supply-chain risk compared to a truly unofficial source. However, the sha256sums is set to 'SKIP', meaning there is no integrity verification of the downloaded binary blob. A prebuilt binary with no checksum verification from any host — even an official one — represents a real supply-chain concern: if the host were compromised or the file silently replaced, users would install arbitrary code with no detection. The binary is executed at runtime by end users. This combination (prebuilt binary + SKIP checksum) justifies a medium rating rather than clean or low.

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, …).
