Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt JAR (executable code) from ci.lucko.me, which is the official LuckPerms Jenkins CI server maintained by the upstream author (lucko). This is a well-known, legitimate project with a large user base. However, two concerns remain: (1) the checksum is SKIP'd, meaning any artifact swap or compromise of the CI server would go undetected, and (2) it pulls from a CI build artifact URL rather than a stable GitHub release, making it more volatile. The JAR is installed directly into a live Minecraft server plugins directory and will be executed by the JVM. While ci.lucko.me is the official upstream CI and not a random personal host, the absence of integrity verification for an executed binary is a genuine supply-chain concern. This is a borderline case — the host is legitimate but the missing checksum on an executed artifact keeps it at medium rather than clean.

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, …).
