Why flagged

This PKGBUILD pulls from a personal GitHub repo on the main branch (no pinned commit, sha256sums='SKIP'), then at build time runs 'pip install -r requirements.txt' and 'pip install pyinstaller' inside a venv — downloading arbitrary PyPI packages with no version pinning or integrity verification. The resulting PyInstaller binary bundles all those dynamically-fetched packages and is installed to /usr/bin. The combination of: (1) unpinned git HEAD from a personal repo, (2) unpinned/unverified pip dependencies, and (3) the final artifact being a compiled executable placed in /usr/bin constitutes a genuine supply-chain risk — any of the upstream sources (git repo, requirements.txt contents, PyPI packages) could be altered to inject malicious code that ends up executed as a bundled binary. This is a real medium-severity concern, not a false positive.

Triggered rules

Medium pip install of an external package pip_install_external

`pip install <package>` fetches an unpinned package from PyPI at build time, outside source=() and makepkg's checksums.
