Why flagged

The package uses 'npm pack' to create a tarball from the local git source and then installs it globally, which triggers a static rule for installing an undeclared external package; however, since the source is pinned to a specific tag in a public GitHub repo and the resulting package is built locally, the actual risk is low, but the pattern matches medium-severity due to the ambiguity in package origin.

Triggered rules

Medium npm/yarn/pnpm install of an undeclared external package npm_install_external

Runs `npm/yarn/pnpm install <package>` for a package not in source=(), pulling unpinned, unreviewed code at build time. Severity downgraded: the package declares/looks like a Node.js consumer, where build-time installs are expected.

PKGBUILD:40 npm install -g --prefix "${pkgdir}/usr" $(npm pack)
