View on AUR

Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from a non-standard host (cdn.duden.de), which is not a typical source for AUR packages; while the host appears related to the software vendor, the use of a prebuilt binary from a non-whitelisted, non-standard domain with a fixed checksum poses a supply-chain risk if the source were compromised or swapped.

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, …).
