MEDIUM

Why flagged The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary from a personal/unofficial CDN host (ltscdn.m6.nz) and installs it directly as an executable. The upstream project is on GitHub (td512/Humble-Trove-Console-Downloader) but the binary is not fetched from GitHub releases or any official distribution channel — it comes from a third-party host controlled by the maintainer. There is a sha256sum check, which mitigates tampering if the hash is correct, but the host itself is not an official or verifiable upstream source. If the host is compromised or the maintainer changes the binary without updating the PKGBUILD, users would execute arbitrary code. This is a classic supply-chain concern: executed binary from an unofficial personal host, not clearly malicious but a real risk.

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, …).
