bitscope-meter
The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from the official project domain over HTTP, which is non-ideal but not inherently malicious; the checksum is provided and matches the expected value, and the software is installed from the vendor's own release infrastructure, making this a standard AUR package for a proprietary tool with no evidence of code injection or remote execution.
