Why flagged

This PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary package (.pacman archive) from a Supabase storage bucket (slelguoygbfzlpylpxfs.supabase.co), which is a third-party cloud storage host rather than an official vendor release infrastructure or well-known mirror. The archive contains an Electron/Chromium-based application binary that is directly executed after installation. While a sha256sum is provided (providing integrity checking against the specific artifact), the host is a personal/project Supabase project bucket that could be replaced or compromised without any code-signing verification. The package also sets SUID on chrome-sandbox (chmod 4755), which is standard for Chromium-based apps but increases the impact of any compromise. This is a genuine medium-severity supply-chain concern: a prebuilt executable binary pulled from an unofficial/personal cloud storage host with no additional verification beyond a hash that the PKGBUILD maintainer controls.

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, …).
