Why flagged

The PKGBUILD downloads and installs a precompiled binary from kingdread.de, which is a personal domain rather than the project's official GitLab release infrastructure (gitlab.com/dunj3/raidgrep). While the SHA256 checksum provides integrity verification against tampering in transit, it does not protect against the host owner substituting a malicious binary at any time (the checksum would simply be updated). The binary is executed directly on the user's system (install -Dm 755). This is a genuine supply-chain concern: if kingdread.de is compromised or the owner is malicious, users receive and execute arbitrary code. The correct pattern would be to source releases from the official GitLab releases page. Severity remains MEDIUM — not HIGH because there is no evidence of active malice, just an unofficial hosting location for an executed binary.

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, …).
