lightdm-slick-greeter-mint-theme
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
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.
