Why flagged

The PKGBUILD installs a known Python package from PyPI using pip, which is a normal practice for Python packages on AUR; the package is not obfuscated or fetched from a suspicious source, but the use of pip install without a checksum verification is a minor supply-chain risk.

Triggered rules

Low pip install of an external package pip_install_external

`pip install <package>` fetches an unpinned package from PyPI at build time, outside source=() and makepkg's checksums. Severity reduced: python-* packages routinely use pip.

PKGBUILD:13 pip install --no-deps --target="nfoursid" nfoursid==1.0.1
