Why flagged The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt AppImage binary from sos-ch-dk-2.exo.io, which is Exoscale's object storage (a Swiss cloud provider). Seafile does legitimately use Exoscale/Exo object storage for their downloads — this is a known pattern for Seafile's distribution infrastructure, not a random personal host. However, it is not the canonical seafile.com domain, and the AppImage is executed directly (installed as a runnable binary with a symlink in /usr/bin). The sha256sum is pinned, which mitigates substitution risk at download time, but the binary itself is opaque and unverifiable beyond the hash. The concern is real but mild: if Exoscale storage were compromised or the upstream maintainer's bucket were taken over, a malicious binary could be distributed. This is a genuine supply-chain concern for an executed binary from a non-primary domain, warranting medium severity, though it is likely a legitimate Seafile distribution channel rather than an attack.
