Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from a non-whitelisted but project-owned host (download.linphone.org), which is unverifiable and poses a supply-chain risk if the source were swapped, though it is not actively malicious.

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=("https://download.linphone.org/releases/linux/app/Linphone-${pkgver}-x86_64.AppImage"
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.
