Why flagged The PKGBUILD runs 'npm install' on external packages (aria2-lib, @motrix/nat-api) during prepare(), which are not declared in source array or verified for integrity, posing a supply-chain risk if the npm registry is compromised or spoofed.

Triggered rules

MEDIUM npm/yarn/pnpm install of an undeclared external package npm_install_external

Runs `npm/yarn/pnpm install <package>` for a package not in source=(), pulling unpinned, unreviewed code at build time. Severity downgraded: the package declares/looks like a Node.js consumer, where build-time installs are expected.

  • PKGBUILD:69 npm install aria2-lib @motrix/nat-api --save
