Why flagged

The source URL points to Huawei's official cloud meeting software distribution host (softclient.meeting.huaweicloud.com), which is a legitimate vendor host. However, the URL has no version component — the same URL always resolves to 'the latest' build, meaning the sha256sum pinned in the PKGBUILD will silently break (or worse, pass if an attacker substitutes a matching binary) whenever Huawei updates the file. The package installs a prebuilt x86_64/aarch64 binary blob extracted from a .deb, which is executed code from a closed-source vendor. The sha256sum provides a point-in-time integrity check but offers no protection against a future silent replacement at the same URL. The PKGBUILD also strips most of the /opt tree (deleting non-resources files) and wraps the electron app in a shell launcher. The host appears to be the genuine Huawei vendor CDN, so this is not clearly malicious, but the versionless URL is a real supply-chain concern: any future update to the remote file will either break the checksum or (if the maintainer updates the sum without review) silently ship a new unreviewed binary. This is a textbook medium-severity supply-chain pattern.
