Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage binary from a non-whitelisted host (static.keet.io), which is not inherently malicious but presents a supply-chain risk if the host were compromised or if the download were intercepted, especially given the skipped checksum verification would make such a swap undetectable; however, the source is plausibly official and no active malicious behavior is observed.

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, …).

  • PKGBUILD:14 source=("$_archive.tar.gz::https://static.keet.io/downloads/$pkgver/Keet-x64.tar.gz")
MEDIUM Recently orphaned & re-adopted orphaned_readopted

This package was orphaned and re-adopted within the last 30 days — a window where ownership transfers can introduce malicious changes.
