Why flagged

A precompiled binary ('pacman-cleanup') is downloaded from a personal/unofficial host (dev.acosom.com) and installed directly into /usr/bin without any build step. There is no checksum stronger than MD5 (which is cryptographically weak), no GPG signature verification, and the URL structure (a Gitea/Gogs-style archive endpoint) is not a well-known official distribution channel. Installing an unverified, pre-built binary from a non-standard personal host is a genuine supply-chain risk: if the host is compromised or the binary is swapped, arbitrary code runs as the user. This is a textbook medium-severity concern.

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, …).
