View on AUR

Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt snap binary from api.snapcraft.io, which is not a standard AUR source host; while the domain is legitimate, the unverifiable binary payload from a third-party service presents a supply-chain risk if the source were compromised or redirected.

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, …).
