Why flagged

The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary .deb from assets.checkra.in, which is the asset host for the checkra1n jailbreak project — not an official Apple/cctools upstream. The binary is executed/installed directly onto the system. There are also two separate download mechanisms: the source=() array fetches the .deb (with a sha256 checksum), but then the package() function re-downloads the same file via wget independently, bypassing makepkg's integrity verification for the actually-used copy. The 'sudo cp -r usr/ /' inside package() is also highly irregular and dangerous. While checkra.in is a known project, the host is unofficial for cctools, the double-download pattern undermines checksum verification, and a prebuilt binary from a third-party host being installed system-wide is a genuine supply-chain concern.

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, …).
