Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt binary zip from update.rigsofrods.org and installs the contained 'RoR' executable and bundled shared libraries directly into /opt. While update.rigsofrods.org appears to be the official Rigs of Rods update/distribution server (the project is open source under GPLv3 and this is a -bin package for the official release), the host is not a well-known forge like GitHub releases, and the integrity check uses only MD5 (weak, collision-prone). The core concern is that prebuilt binaries plus bundled libs (cp -r lib) are installed and executed without any source build, and the distribution host, while plausibly official, is a single point of failure for supply-chain compromise. This is a textbook medium: a real but not clearly malicious supply-chain risk from an executed binary from a non-primary/unofficial host with weak integrity verification.

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, …).

An AI model (anthropic/claude-4.6-sonnet-20260217) reviewed this and agrees it is MEDIUM (confidence 72%): The package downloads a prebuilt binary zip from update.rigsofrods.org and installs the contained 'RoR' executable and bundled shared libraries directly into /opt.
