Why flagged

The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt x86_64 binary from static.wilsonl.in (the author's personal CDN/static host) rather than from the project's GitHub releases page. The binary is installed directly as an executable. While the SHA-256 checksum is present and the domain appears to belong to the upstream author (wilsonzlin), this is still a supply-chain concern: the host is not the canonical forge, there is no GPG signature verification, and a compromise of that personal static host would deliver a malicious executable to users. This is a textbook medium-severity AUR pattern — executed binary from an unofficial/personal host with only a hash check.

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, …).
