MEDIUM

Why flagged Downloads a prebuilt binary package (.pkg.tar.zst) from a non-standard personal/company host (packages.gundulabs.com) that is not an official distribution channel, and the install hook runs the bundled /usr/bin/gaze-kde-pam binary with sudo-level PAM configuration changes; if the host were silently swapped the prebuilt could be replaced with arbitrary code that gets executed with elevated privileges during install/upgrade.

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, …).
