Why flagged

The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary tarball at build time via wget in prepare() from dl.slic3r.org, using a commit SHA derived from the GitHub API response. This binary is not listed in source=() and has no checksum verification (no sha512sum entry for it). The domain dl.slic3r.org is the official Slic3r download server, not a random personal host, which reduces but does not eliminate risk. However, the core concern is real: (1) the binary is a prebuilt executable installed to /opt and run directly, (2) it is fetched outside of makepkg's integrity-checking framework (no checksum, not in source=), and (3) the SHA used to construct the URL comes from a GitHub API JSON response that is itself only SKIP-verified. If dl.slic3r.org were compromised or the domain expired/hijacked, arbitrary code would execute on the user's system. This is a genuine supply-chain concern — an executed binary from a host with no integrity verification — warranting a medium rating.

Triggered rules

Medium External download from an untrusted host, not in source=() external_download_not_in_source

curl/wget fetches a URL on a non-allowlisted host that is not part of source=(), so it is not checksum-verified by makepkg.
