MEDIUM
View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt binary .deb from desk.ctyun.cn, which is the official China Telecom Cloud (天翼云) client download host. This is a proprietary vendor-hosted binary with no source code, and while the host appears to be the legitimate vendor's distribution server, it is not a well-known canonical upstream like GitHub releases or a major distro mirror. The sha256sum provides integrity checking against tampering in transit, but there is no GPG signature verification. The binary is extracted and installed directly into the system (/opt and /usr), meaning any compromise of the download host or substitution of the binary would result in arbitrary code execution. This is a classic medium-severity supply-chain concern: not clearly malicious, but an executed proprietary binary from a single vendor-controlled host with no independent verification mechanism beyond a hash in the PKGBUILD itself (which could also be updated by the maintainer). The prepare/package steps are straightforward .deb extraction with no obfuscation.
