Why flagged

The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary at build time from videomap.it (the upstream vendor's own website) without any checksum verification. The binary is architecture-selected, fetched outside the source=() array (so no integrity check is performed by makepkg), and directly installed to /usr/bin. While videomap.it appears to be the legitimate upstream vendor for DroidMote, the absence of any hash verification means a compromised or substituted binary would go undetected. This is a genuine supply-chain concern: an executed binary from an external host with no integrity verification constitutes a medium-severity risk regardless of whether the host is the official vendor.

Triggered rules

Medium External download from an untrusted host, not in source=() external_download_not_in_source

curl/wget fetches a URL on a non-allowlisted host that is not part of source=(), so it is not checksum-verified by makepkg.

PKGBUILD:46 curl -L "https://videomap.it/script/$_target" -o droidmote

Medium AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this HIGH, but an AI model (anthropic/claude-4.6-sonnet-20260217) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it MEDIUM (confidence 85%): The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary at build time from videomap.it (the upstream vendor's own website) without any checksum verification. The binary is architecture-selected, fetched outside the source=() array (so no integrity check is performed by makepkg), and directly installed to /usr/bin. While videomap.it appears to be the legitimate upstream vendor for DroidMote, the absence of any hash verification means a compromised or substituted binary would go undetected. This is a genuine supply-chain concern: an executed binary from an external host with no integrity verification constitutes a medium-severity risk regardless of whether the host is the official vendor.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

High Downloaded file is executed download_then_exec

A file fetched with curl/wget (not part of source=(), so never checksum-verified) is later made executable or run — a fetch-and-execute pattern split across statements.
