MEDIUM

Why flagged The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt JAR file from mediafiles.forgecdn.net, which is CurseForge's CDN — a well-known and widely-used distribution host for Minecraft mods. This is the standard delivery mechanism for CurseForge mods and is not an unofficial or personal host. However, the JAR is a prebuilt binary that gets installed and executed at runtime by the Forge server, and there is no source build from upstream code. The sha256sum is present, which mitigates substitution risk. The concern is moderate: forgecdn.net is a legitimate CDN but the artifact is an opaque prebuilt binary JAR with no source verification. This is standard AUR practice for Minecraft mods distributed via CurseForge, making this more of a 'clean' pattern in context, though the prebuilt-binary-from-CDN aspect keeps a small supply-chain concern alive. Overall this is a borderline clean/medium case; the host is legitimate, the checksum is present, and the pattern is normal for this ecosystem.
