Why flagged

The PKGBUILD runs 'pnpm add esbuild' during build, installing an undeclared external npm package from an unverified source, creating a supply-chain risk if the package is compromised.

Triggered rules

Medium npm/yarn/pnpm install of an undeclared external package npm_install_external

Runs `npm/yarn/pnpm install <package>` for a package not in source=(), pulling unpinned, unreviewed code at build time. Severity downgraded: the package declares/looks like a Node.js consumer, where build-time installs are expected.

  • PKGBUILD:27 pnpm add esbuild --allow-build=esbuild
