View on AUR

Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from a non-whitelisted host (files.grass.io), which is not a standard code hosting platform, and installs its contents without verification of the binary's origin or integrity, posing a potential supply-chain risk if the host were compromised or malicious.

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, …).
