MEDIUM

Why flagged This PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary .deb from twistednormal.com (the upstream vendor's own website for the Glise 3D modeler), extracts and installs it directly. The host appears to be the official project website (url= matches the source host), so this is not a random personal host — it is the upstream distribution point. However, several concerns remain: (1) the source uses plain HTTP (not HTTPS), meaning the download is susceptible to MITM substitution in transit; (2) only an MD5 checksum is provided, which is cryptographically weak and insufficient to guarantee integrity against a determined attacker; (3) the package installs a closed-source prebuilt binary with a custom EULA, which is a supply-chain trust concern by nature. The combination of HTTP-only transport and MD5-only integrity check for an executed binary is a real (if not severe) supply-chain risk. The cheaper model's 'non-standard host' concern is partially a false positive since this is the vendor's own site, but the HTTP+MD5 issue is a genuine medium-level concern for an installed binary.

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, …).
