Why flagged

The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt tarball from reliquary.se (a personal/project host, not a major forge or distro mirror) and installs all extracted binaries into /usr/bin with execute permissions. Two compounding issues: (1) sha256sums=('SKIP') means there is zero integrity verification — any content served at that URL is blindly trusted and executed; (2) the glob `reliquary-*` installs whatever binaries are in the tarball without any explicit enumeration, so a compromised or swapped tarball could silently add extra executables. The depends on 'sanctum' (a niche crypto tool) and the project's own domain suggest this is a legitimate but small personal project, not an active attack, but the combination of an unverified binary tarball from a non-standard host with SKIP checksums is a genuine supply-chain risk meeting the medium threshold.

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, …).
