View on AUR

Why flagged

The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary package (a .pacman file containing an Electron-based GTD application) directly from release.everdo.net, which is the vendor's own release server. This is a common pattern for proprietary AUR packages that wrap vendor-distributed binaries. The sha256sum is pinned, which mitigates substitution attacks at the transport level. However, the binary is a closed-source, precompiled Electron application from a non-distro host with no reproducibility guarantee, and the license is listed as 'unknown'. The risk is a real supply-chain concern (unverifiable prebuilt executable from a vendor host), but this is standard practice for proprietary AUR packages and the checksum provides integrity verification. This is a genuine medium: not clearly malicious, but the user must trust the vendor's release infrastructure entirely.

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, …).
