Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt binary archive (pdi-ce zip containing JARs and native executables) from an AWS S3 bucket ('privatefilesbucket-community-edition') that is not the canonical Pentaho/Hitachi Vantara official download domain. While Pentaho does use S3 for distribution, this specific bucket name is not the well-known official release host, and S3 buckets can be silently replaced or taken over. The sha1sums provide some integrity protection, but SHA1 is weak and the source is a prebuilt binary blob rather than source code. The wrapper scripts (spoon, carte, kitchen, pan) are local files with checksums, which is fine. The core concern is the prebuilt binary from a non-canonical host — this is a genuine medium supply-chain risk, not a false positive, though there is no evidence of active malice.

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, …).
