MEDIUM

Why flagged The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary .deb from ravkavonline.co.il (the project's own domain, not a major forge like GitHub releases or a distro mirror) and installs the extracted binary directly into the system. There is a sha256sum check, which mitigates casual tampering, but the binary is closed-source/proprietary and comes from a single vendor-controlled host with no additional verification (no GPG signature). If the domain or its CDN were compromised, the sha256 would not help. The installed artifact is an executed binary, not data, so the supply-chain risk is real. This is a classic medium: not clearly malicious, but an unofficial prebuilt binary from a non-standard host with no cryptographic signing beyond a hash baked into the PKGBUILD itself.

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, …).
