Why flagged

The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt Windows installer executable (Installateur_Sappy.exe) from archive.org, which is a community-uploaded, non-authoritative host. The executable is extracted with 7z and its contents are installed into /usr/share/sappy2006 and then executed at runtime via Wine. While archive.org is a legitimate archival service, it is not an official vendor distribution channel — anyone can upload files there, and the content can be replaced or the URL reused. Only the installer EXE has an md5sum; the other sources (mod17.zip, the launcher script, desktop file, and icon) are all SKIP, meaning they are unverified local or separately sourced files. The combination of an unverified executable from a non-official host with several SKIP checksums represents a genuine supply-chain concern: the installer binary could be swapped without detection for most of the sources. This is a real medium-severity concern rather than a false positive.

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, …).
