MEDIUM

Why flagged The PKGBUILD downloads and installs a prebuilt binary ('elysia') directly from dawn.wine, which is a personal/project host rather than an official distribution channel like GitHub releases or a well-known vendor CDN. The binary is installed as an executable (Dm755) into /usr/bin. While sha256sums are present (providing integrity at a point in time), the host is not a recognized, auditable source — if the host is compromised or the maintainer swaps the file at the same URL, users could receive a different binary with the same apparent legitimacy. The URL pattern mimics a Gitea/Forgejo instance path (/releases/download/v$pkgver/), but dawn.wine is not a widely trusted forge. This is a classic supply-chain concern: executed binary from an unofficial personal host. No obfuscation, no piracy indicators, and the checksums do provide some protection, but the risk of silent substitution or host compromise remains a genuine medium-severity concern.

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, …).
