MEDIUM

Why flagged The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary from storage.googleapis.com/spinnaker-artifacts, which is the official Spinnaker project's artifact storage bucket on Google Cloud Storage. This is the canonical distribution channel used by the Spinnaker project itself (documented at spinnaker.io). However, it is still a prebuilt binary with no source compilation, and GCS buckets can be misconfigured or taken over. The sha256sum provides integrity verification against tampering in transit, but does not protect against the upstream artifact itself being replaced at the source. This is a legitimate medium-risk pattern: an executed binary from what appears to be the official vendor host, but without source compilation. The risk is real but not elevated — this matches the standard medium classification for prebuilt binary packages.

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, …).
