MEDIUM

Why flagged The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary installer (eagle-lin.run) from ftp.cadsoft.de, which is the official CadSoft/Autodesk EAGLE FTP server — a legitimate vendor host. However, the package executes this binary installer directly during the build phase (chmod +x + ./eagle-lin.run), which is a real supply-chain concern: FTP lacks transport security, so the download is susceptible to MITM substitution. The sha256sum check does mitigate this somewhat, but the pattern of executing a downloaded binary installer is inherently risky. The host itself (ftp.cadsoft.de) is the official vendor distribution point for EAGLE 5.x, so this is not an unofficial or personal host — it's a legitimate but insecure (FTP) vendor channel. This is a borderline case: the vendor host is legitimate, the checksum is present, but FTP + executed binary installer keeps this at medium rather than clean.
