MEDIUM

Why flagged This PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary package from repo.iceshrimp.dev, which is a project-specific Arch Linux repository hosted by the Iceshrimp project itself (not an official Arch mirror). The package then unpacks it directly into pkgdir, effectively installing whatever binaries are in that pre-built package. While this is a common pattern for -bin AUR packages and the host appears to be the official project's own repository, the risk is real: if repo.iceshrimp.dev is compromised, arbitrary binaries would be installed. The sha512sums are present but notably appear truncated/malformed (both hashes are 127 hex characters instead of the expected 128, suggesting possible corruption or truncation). The checksums being wrong/truncated means integrity verification may fail or be unreliable, which is a genuine concern for a binary package. The medium rating is appropriate: this is an executed binary from a non-standard (non-upstream-release) host with questionable checksum integrity.

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, …).
