Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from a non-standard host (repo.nperf.com) which is not on the whitelist, and the source is not verifiable; while the AppImage is from the official vendor, the unverifiable nature of the executable payload combined with a non-standard host raises supply-chain 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, …).

PKGBUILD:15 source=("https://repo.nperf.com/linux/nperf/nPerf-${pkgver}-${arch}.AppImage")

Medium Recently orphaned & re-adopted orphaned_readopted

This package was orphaned and re-adopted within the last 30 days — a window where ownership transfers can introduce malicious changes.
