Why flagged

The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary .run installer (compressed with gzip) from edrawsoft.com, which is the official vendor site for EdrawSoft software. The source has a sha256sum checksum, providing integrity verification against the pinned hash. The prepare() function extracts a self-extracting archive by parsing the embedded line offset and unpacking a tarball from within the .run file — this is a standard pattern for makeself-style installers. The resulting binary is then installed to /opt and symlinked into /usr/bin. The concern is that this is a prebuilt proprietary binary from a vendor host with no reproducibility or source audit possible, and the sha256sum only pins one specific version — if edrawsoft.com were to serve a different binary at the same URL (e.g. after a silent update), the checksum would catch it, but only if the URL remains stable. The host is the legitimate upstream vendor (edrawsoft.com), not a personal or unofficial mirror, which reduces but does not eliminate supply-chain risk. Overall this is a standard -bin package pattern for proprietary software: a prebuilt binary from the official vendor, checksummed, installed to /opt. This is medium risk by AUR standards (executed binary, no source audit), but not elevated beyond that.

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, …).
