Why flagged

The source is a prebuilt binary package (.pkg.tar.xz) fetched from a personal/unofficial domain (software.concise.cc) rather than from the project's official GitLab repository (gitlab.com/a4to/lockit). While the maintainer's email domain matches the hosting domain (concise.cc), this is still a personal host, not the upstream project's official release infrastructure. The package installs executables directly from this prebuilt artifact (install -Dm755 usr/bin/*), meaning any compromise or silent substitution of the hosted file would result in arbitrary code execution on the user's system. A sha512sum and a PGP key are present, which mitigates but does not eliminate the risk — the PGP key's trustworthiness cannot be independently verified without checking it against a well-known keyserver and the upstream project. The correct rating is MEDIUM: a real supply-chain concern (executed binary from a non-official personal host) that is not clearly 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, …).
