Why flagged

The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary .deb from hotchat-dl.iqiyi.com, which is iQIYI's (a major Chinese streaming company) official download CDN for their 热聊 (Reliao) chat application. The domain is plausibly the vendor's own distribution host, not a random personal server. However, it is still a prebuilt binary from a non-standard host (not GitHub releases, not a distro mirror), with only an MD5 checksum (weak, collision-vulnerable). The binary is extracted and installed directly without any integrity verification beyond MD5. This is a legitimate medium-risk supply-chain concern: if the CDN is compromised or the domain changes hands, arbitrary code could be executed. The risk is real but not clearly malicious — this is a common pattern for proprietary Chinese software distributed via 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, …).
