MEDIUM

Why flagged The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary installer (.tgz containing a .run file) from foundry.com, which is the official vendor domain. However, it then executes that .run binary directly during the package() phase (./Nuke$pkgver-linux-x86_64.run --accept-foundry-eula), which is a real supply-chain concern: a .run installer is an opaque self-extracting binary that runs arbitrary code at install time rather than being inspected/unpacked cleanly. The domain is legitimate (The Foundry is the actual vendor of Nuke), and an md5sum is provided (though MD5 is weak). The main concern is executing a prebuilt binary installer rather than extracting it, which is non-standard packaging practice and carries inherent risk if the upstream binary were ever compromised. This is a genuine medium: executed binary from a vendor host, not clearly malicious but not clean packaging either.
