Why flagged The PKGBUILD downloads prebuilt binary tarballs from jminim.com (an unofficial/personal host, not the canonical minimserver.com) with SKIP checksums for the binaries themselves. The binaries are executed at runtime (a UPnP server with JRE). SKIP checksums mean there is zero integrity verification on the downloaded executables — if jminim.com is compromised or the files are swapped, arbitrary code runs on the user's system. The auxiliary scripts (startd, stopall, minimserver.service) do have checksums. This is a genuine supply-chain concern: unofficial host + no checksum on executed binaries = medium risk.

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, …).
