MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt binary tarball from mitk.org (the official MITK project website) and installs it directly into /opt without building from source. While mitk.org is the legitimate upstream vendor site, the package installs a pre-compiled binary blob with all its bundled libraries (cp -r bin/) that cannot be audited. The sha256sum provides integrity checking against tampering in transit, and the source is the official vendor download server, which reduces supply-chain risk compared to a personal/unofficial host. However, the pattern of installing an opaque prebuilt binary tarball with bundled libraries (rather than building from source) is a genuine medium-severity concern per AUR standards — users are trusting the upstream binary entirely. The cheaper model's 'non-standard host' concern is a false positive since mitk.org is the official project domain, but the prebuilt binary installation pattern itself justifies medium severity.
