Why flagged

The PKGBUILD downloads a wallpaper from an untrusted external host (bing.com) during package build using wget, which is not listed in source=() and has no checksum verification, creating a potential supply-chain risk if the endpoint were compromised.

Triggered rules

Medium External download from an untrusted host, not in source=() external_download_not_in_source

curl/wget fetches a URL on a non-allowlisted host that is not part of source=(), so it is not checksum-verified by makepkg.

  • PKGBUILD:69 wget -O slick-greeter.png "http://www.bing.com/$(wget -q -O- https://binged.it/2ZButYc | sed -e 's/<[^>]*>//g' | cut -d / -f2 | cut -d \& -f1)"
