Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt binary archive from dl.armgs.team, which is a non-official, third-party host (not the canonical sreda.digital.gov.ru government domain). The entire extracted archive contents are copied wholesale into /opt/sreda with 'cp -a srcdir/.' which installs whatever binaries/libraries are in the tarball. While a sha256sum is present, the trust anchor is only as strong as the host: if dl.armgs.team is compromised or controlled by an unrelated party, the checksum in the PKGBUILD would need to be updated to reflect a malicious payload — but the current checksum does not guarantee the host is trustworthy going forward. The package installs executed native binaries from a non-canonical host for what is described as a Russian government employee communication service, which is a genuine supply-chain concern. This is a real medium-severity issue: prebuilt binaries from an unofficial/personal-team host being installed and executed on the user's system.

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, …).
