MEDIUM

Why flagged The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt Debian .deb from ftp5.gwdg.de (a German academic mirror that does host Linux Mint packages, so it is not a random personal host, but it is still not the official upstream source). All checksums are set to SKIP, meaning there is no integrity verification whatsoever. The package installs files from /usr/share (data files, not executables directly), but the .deb could contain scripts or binaries in that path. The combination of a non-upstream mirror and completely absent checksum verification is a genuine supply-chain concern: if the artifact is silently replaced or the mirror is compromised, malicious content would be installed without detection. This meets the medium threshold (executed/installed content from an unofficial host with no integrity check), though the gwdg.de mirror is a known academic mirror rather than a personal host, which slightly reduces but does not eliminate the risk.

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, …).
