MEDIUM

Why flagged A prebuilt tarball is fetched from a personal Dropbox link (not the GitHub repo listed as the project URL) with sha512sums='SKIP', meaning no integrity verification whatsoever. The tarball is then compiled with make and installed system-wide. This is a genuine supply-chain concern: the Dropbox artifact could be silently replaced at any time with no checksum to detect tampering, and the resulting compiled binary is executed/installed. The correct approach would be to build from the GitHub source directly. This matches the definition of medium: executed/compiled code from an unofficial personal host with no integrity check.

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, …).
