Why flagged

The PKGBUILD installs a prebuilt Electron binary (ObinsKit) downloaded from a Cloudflare R2 bucket (pub-0ff293aefb644607ac910219d9762b50.r2.dev) rather than from the official project's GitHub releases or the vendor's own domain. The official ObinsKit project (hexcore.xyz/obinskit) historically distributed via GitHub releases; this R2 bucket has no verifiable link to the upstream project. A prebuilt, executed binary from an unverifiable third-party host is a genuine supply-chain concern regardless of the sha256 checksums (which only verify integrity, not authenticity). The second source 'deb_extra_files_obins.tar.gz' is also a local/relative path with no URL, meaning it must be a separately maintained file whose provenance is unclear. These factors together constitute a real medium-severity supply-chain risk: executed code from an unofficial host with no cryptographic signing or clear chain of custody to the upstream vendor.

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, …).
