Why flagged

Downloads and installs a prebuilt binary .deb from releases.lore.org, a non-standard host that is not the project's official GitHub release infrastructure; while a checksum is provided, the host is not verifiably controlled by Epic Games and the binary is executed directly, making it a supply-chain risk if the host were compromised or swapped.

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, …).

PKGBUILD:25 source=("https://releases.lore.org/desktop/releases/stable/lore-desktop_amd64.deb")
