Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt RAR archive containing a .exe binary (CustomizeMii.exe) from google-code-archive-downloads.storage.googleapis.com and executes it via mono. While this is the official Google Code Archive storage bucket (a legitimate Google-operated mirror of the old Google Code hosting), the binary itself is a prebuilt executable with no source build — users must trust the archived binary. The sha256sum provides integrity verification against tampering in transit, which mitigates the supply-chain risk somewhat. However, executing a prebuilt .NET/mono binary from an archived project host without source compilation is a genuine medium-severity concern: if the archived binary was ever compromised or replaced, users would run arbitrary code. The pattern is common in AUR -bin packages but the combination of a prebuilt executable, a non-mainstream archive host, and mono execution warrants keeping this at medium rather than clean.
