MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt binary .deb from eudic.net (the official vendor domain for Eudic/Eusoft dictionary software — the same company that runs godic.net listed as the url). This is the upstream vendor's own distribution host, not a random personal or unofficial host. The sha256sum is pinned, which mitigates substitution risk. However, it is still a prebuilt binary blob from a closed-source commercial vendor rather than a source build, and the .deb is fetched with a version-parameterized URL which could theoretically serve different content if the server ignores the query parameter (though the hash pins it). The LICENSE.html is fetched from a live URL at build time without a stable hash guarantee across rebuilds (though a hash is provided for the current fetch). Overall this is a standard 'prebuilt binary from upstream vendor' pattern common in AUR -bin packages; the domain is the legitimate vendor. The medium rating is marginally justified only because it is an executed proprietary binary blob, not because the host is suspicious.

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, …).
