Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt web application from a non-standard host (igv.org/app-archive/) with a fixed checksum, and runs 'npm install' on specific external packages not declared as dependencies, posing a supply-chain risk if the source or npm packages were compromised.

Triggered rules

Medium npm/yarn/pnpm install of an undeclared external package npm_install_external

Runs `npm/yarn/pnpm install <package>` for a package not in source=(), pulling unpinned, unreviewed code at build time. Severity downgraded: the package declares/looks like a Node.js consumer, where build-time installs are expected.

PKGBUILD:37 npm install bootstrap@5.3.3 \

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, …).

PKGBUILD:17 source=("https://igv.org/app-archive/igv-webapp.${pkgver}.zip"
