View on AUR

Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt Debian package from a non-whitelisted host (labs.picotech.com), which is not a standard AUR source; while plausible for official software, the unverifiable binary payload presents a supply-chain risk if the host were compromised.

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, …).
