Why flagged

The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary from downloads.dcos.io, which is the official DC/OS (Mesosphere/D2iQ) distribution host for their CLI tool. This is the legitimate upstream vendor host, not a personal or unofficial mirror. However, the concern is real: a prebuilt binary is downloaded and installed directly without any source compilation, and the sha256sum is a single checksum with no GPG signature verification. The host is official but the pattern of installing an unverified (beyond checksum) prebuilt binary from a vendor CDN is a genuine supply-chain risk — if the host is compromised or the binary was tampered with before the checksum was recorded, there is no additional verification layer. This is a standard medium-risk pattern for -bin packages in the AUR: not malicious, but the execution of a prebuilt binary from a remote host without signature verification is a legitimate concern. The package is also quite old (v1.1.2, DC/OS CLI) and may no longer be maintained.

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, …).
