MEDIUM

Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt Windows executable (a .NET application run under Wine) from archive.org rather than from the official upstream release host. The upstream project (NSUI) was originally distributed via GitHub but the source here points to an archive.org mirror ('thc-new-super-ultimate-injector-for-3ds'), which is a third-party re-upload. The binary is checksummed, which mitigates casual tampering, but the checksum only guarantees the file hasn't changed since the PKGBUILD was written — it does not verify the binary came from the original developer. Since the installed artifact is an executed binary (run via Wine), a compromised or substituted archive.org upload would result in arbitrary code execution on the user's system. This is a genuine supply-chain concern: unofficial host + executed binary = medium risk. The wrapper script, desktop file, and icon are local sources and pose no additional 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, …).
