MEDIUM

Why flagged The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary tarball (a VST plugin .so library) from Dropbox, which is a personal/unofficial file-hosting service rather than an official vendor release host. The binary is installed directly into /usr/lib/vst/ and will be loaded and executed by any VST host (DAW, csound, etc.). While a sha256sum is present providing integrity at the time of packaging, Dropbox URLs can be silently replaced by the account owner at any time, and there is no way for users to verify the binary's provenance or authenticity beyond the hash. This constitutes a genuine supply-chain concern: an executed binary (VST plugin) from an unofficial personal host with no code signing or reproducible build. The cheaper model's MEDIUM rating is correct.

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, …).
