Why flagged

A prebuilt JAR file is downloaded from binaries.dalan.fr, which is the maintainer's own personal binary hosting domain rather than an official upstream release host (e.g. GitHub releases, Maven Central, or a well-known project mirror). The JAR is executed at runtime by the Java runtime, so it constitutes executed code from an unofficial/personal host. The sha256sum provides integrity checking against tampering in transit, but does not protect against the host owner substituting a malicious JAR and updating the checksum in the PKGBUILD simultaneously. This is a classic AUR supply-chain pattern: maintainer controls both the binary host and the PKGBUILD, so a compromise of either yields code execution on the user's machine. The risk is real but not evidence of active malice — it is the standard medium-severity concern for self-hosted prebuilt binaries in the AUR.

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, …).
