MEDIUM

Why flagged The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary tarball from dn.navicat.com (the official Navicat CDN/download host) and installs it under /opt/navicat to be run via Wine. Two concerns: (1) The checksum for the main tarball is SKIP'd, meaning any tampering or substitution of the binary would go undetected. (2) Navicat Premium is proprietary commercial software — the license field claiming 'GPL3' is incorrect, but this package appears to be installing the trial/free version rather than cracking it, so piracy is not clearly indicated. The host dn.navicat.com is the legitimate Navicat download CDN, so this is not an unofficial or personal host. However, the SKIP'd checksum on an executed binary tarball is a genuine supply-chain concern: if the CDN is compromised or the URL is redirected, arbitrary code would be installed and executed. This keeps it at MEDIUM rather than clean.
