View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The package downloads a prebuilt binary archive (RPGVXAce_RTP.zip containing Setup.exe, an InnoSetup installer) from dl.komodo.jp, which is a Japanese CDN/mirror used by Komodo to distribute RPG Maker web assets. This is not the official rpgmakerweb.com domain, making it an unofficial/third-party host. The archive contains a Windows executable (Setup.exe) that is extracted with innoextract and its contents installed directly to /opt. While there is a sha256sum pinning the download, the host is not under the upstream vendor's direct control (rpgmakerweb.com), so if dl.komodo.jp were compromised or the file replaced, the checksum would catch it only if the attacker cannot update the PKGBUILD. The extracted 'app' directory from an InnoSetup installer likely contains runtime data files (graphics, audio, fonts) rather than executed Linux binaries, which reduces the actual execution risk. However, the provenance is non-standard and the source is a binary blob from a third-party host, which qualifies as a genuine medium supply-chain concern rather than a false positive.
