Why flagged

The PKGBUILD downloads and installs a prebuilt x86_64 binary from a personal/self-hosted Gitea instance (git.mahdium.ir) maintained by the package author. This is not an official distribution channel like GitHub, GitLab, or a distro mirror — it is a personal server that could be compromised, taken down, or silently replaced. The binary is executed directly on the user's system (installed to /usr/bin/tbdel). A sha256 checksum is present, which provides integrity verification against the specific downloaded artifact, but does not protect against the upstream host serving a malicious binary in the first place (the checksum would simply be updated). There is no source code build from a verifiable VCS, no reproducible build, and no third-party attestation. This is a classic supply-chain concern: a prebuilt binary from an unofficial personal host. The risk is real but not evidence of active malice, so MEDIUM is the correct rating.

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, …).
