Why flagged

This PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary ZIP from an Aliyun OSS bucket (goby-storage-public.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com), which is the project's own CDN/storage host for Goby Community Edition — a legitimate network security scanning tool. The source is checksummed with sha256sums, which provides some integrity guarantee. However, the binary is not from a canonical, verifiable upstream release page (e.g., GitHub releases), and the host is a cloud storage bucket that could be modified without notice. More critically, the package installs a prebuilt Electron/Go binary and then uses setcap to grant CAP_NET_RAW+eip and CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip capabilities to goby-cmd-linux — a raw binary from a non-standard host with elevated network capabilities is a genuine supply-chain concern. Additionally, chmod -R ugo+rwX on the entire install directory is sloppy. The combination of an unverifiable prebuilt binary host plus elevated Linux capabilities (not just execution but privileged network access) justifies a medium rating rather than clean.

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, …).
