Why flagged

The prepare() function downloads a locale archive from an untrusted host (heidisql.com) not listed in source=(), which is not verifiable and could be silently swapped, posing a supply-chain risk for non-executable data.

Triggered rules

Medium External download from an untrusted host, not in source=() external_download_not_in_source

curl/wget fetches a URL on a non-allowlisted host that is not part of source=(), so it is not checksum-verified by makepkg.

PKGBUILD:30 curl -fsSL "https://www.heidisql.com/downloads/locale/${locale_zip}" -o "/tmp/${locale_zip}" || exit 1
