Why flagged

The PKGBUILD has multiple serious issues. First, it runs `gem install bundler` and `bundle install` during build without pinned versions or checksums for the gems fetched, creating a genuine supply-chain risk since arbitrary gem versions could be pulled from rubygems.org at build time. Second, the package() function is clearly broken: it writes to ~/.bashrc (modifying user state from a package function is wrong), uses `mv -T` to move the source to /tmp (not $pkgdir), and never installs anything into $pkgdir, so the package would be empty. The `if [ ! -d /opt/drivesync ]` check also references a path that is never created. The supply-chain concern (unpinned gem installs executing arbitrary code) is a real medium-severity issue, not a false positive, though the broken packaging means it likely never successfully installs anyway.

Triggered rules

Medium External install via pipx/uv/poetry/cargo/go/gem alt_pkg_manager_install

A non-pip/npm package manager (pipx, uv, poetry, cargo install, go install, gem, conda…) fetches and builds an external package at build time, outside source=() and makepkg's checksums.
