MEDIUM

View on AUR

Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt binary from a non-standard, non-whitelisted host (netexperts.com.au) which is not a common upstream for the base software (RustDesk), creating a supply-chain risk if the binary is swapped; however, it is a legitimate remote support tool based on open-source RustDesk, and the source tarball is also provided.

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, …).
