MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads prebuilt binaries (linux32/linux64 tarballs) from coliop.org rather than the official coin-or.org project host. coliop.org appears to be the developer's own site (COLIOP is the GUI companion to CMPL, developed by the same author), so this is not a random third-party host — it is the upstream developer's distribution site. However, it is still an unofficial/personal host rather than a canonical release mirror, served over plain HTTP (not HTTPS), and the binaries are executed directly (the 'coliop' binary is chmod +x'd and placed in /usr/bin, and 'cmpl' is symlinked to /usr/bin). The sha256 checksums provide some integrity protection, but the HTTP download means the checksums themselves could be bypassed by a MITM if the PKGBUILD were also tampered with. The core concern is prebuilt binaries from a non-canonical host over plain HTTP — a real but moderate supply-chain risk, consistent with MEDIUM severity.

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, …).

MEDIUM Recently orphaned & re-adopted orphaned_readopted

This package was orphaned and re-adopted within the last 30 days — a window where ownership transfers can introduce malicious changes.
