Why flagged

The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt RPM binary from download.qoder.com (an unofficial/vendor host with no version pinning — 'latest' in the URL) and installs it directly. The checksum is SKIP'd, meaning there is no integrity verification whatsoever. This is a real supply-chain concern: the binary could be silently replaced at any time and the package would install whatever is served. Additionally, the PKGBUILD has a duplicate/conflicting source= declaration (the first one references a local file 'qoder_x86_64.rpm', the second overrides it with the URL), which is sloppy but the URL form wins. The combination of an unversioned 'latest' URL, a prebuilt executable binary, and SKIP'd checksums constitutes a genuine medium-severity supply-chain risk.

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, …).
