Why flagged

The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary installer from an S3 bucket owned by Solid State Logic (SSL, which acquired Harrison Consoles). The host 'eu1.download.solidstatelogic.com' is the official SSL download CDN, so this is not a random personal host — it is the vendor's own distribution infrastructure. However, the package still executes a downloaded .run binary installer (sh '...run' --tar xvf) during the build phase, which is a real supply-chain concern: if the S3 object were replaced or the bucket misconfigured, arbitrary code would execute. The sha256sum provides some protection but only against accidental corruption, not a deliberate substitution at the source. The pattern of running a binary installer and then extracting its contents is a legitimate but risky packaging approach. This warrants medium severity: it is an executed binary from a vendor CDN (not a personal/unofficial host), but the execution of a .run installer during package() is a genuine supply-chain risk pattern that the AUR community typically flags.
