Why flagged

The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary from 'downloads.iusearchbtw.nl', which is a personal/unofficial host operated by the maintainer rather than the upstream project's official GitHub releases infrastructure (github.com/ico277/nyafetch). The binary is installed directly as an executable without any source build step. While a sha256sum is provided (mitigating accidental corruption), it does not protect against the host owner substituting a malicious binary at any time, nor does it verify the binary matches what the upstream project actually releases. This is a genuine supply-chain concern: a prebuilt executable from a personal host that is not the upstream's official release channel constitutes a medium-severity 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, …).
