MEDIUM

Why flagged The source is a prebuilt tarball hosted on a personal Dropbox account rather than an official upstream repository or release page. While a b2sum checksum is present (providing integrity verification against the specific artifact), Dropbox links can be silently replaced by the account owner at any time, and there is no way to verify the provenance of the binary/compiled theme files inside the tarball. Plymouth themes typically contain scripts and image assets, but the tarball contents are opaque and installed with mode 755 (executable). The lack of an official upstream source, combined with a mutable personal hosting location and executable permissions on all installed files, constitutes a genuine supply-chain concern. This is a real medium-risk pattern: executed/installed files from an unofficial personal host with no source code to audit.
