MEDIUM

Why flagged The PKGBUILD downloads and installs prebuilt binaries (memoa_aarch64, memoa_x86_64) from repository.hellonico.info, which is a personal/unofficial Nexus repository host rather than a well-known project mirror or official vendor CDN. The binaries are installed as executable files in /usr/bin. While sha256sums are provided (offering integrity checking against tampering in transit), the trust anchor is still the maintainer's own server — if that host is compromised or the maintainer substitutes different binaries, users would execute arbitrary code. The license is listed as 'unknown', and the source/desktop files are fetched without a URL (implying they are in the AUR git repo itself, which is acceptable). This is a genuine supply-chain concern: executed binaries from a personal host with no independent verification path (no GPG signature, no official release page cross-reference). This matches the classic medium pattern of an unofficial binary host.

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, …).
