Why flagged
The package downloads prebuilt VMware binaries and tools from a non-official, untrusted third-party S3 host (hessfr.s3.lyn.io.hostmyservers.net), which presents a supply-chain risk due to the potential for silent replacement of proprietary, unverifiable executables; however, it does not execute remote code or exfiltrate data.
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, …).

Medium
Privileged / out-of-pacman install (sudoers, setuid, or self-update)
privileged_install
The package grants elevated privileges or installs an update path outside pacman: a /etc/sudoers.d rule (often passwordless), a setuid/setgid binary, or a self-update script/service that can fetch and run future code with no checksum verification. The initial install may be verified, but the ongoing privilege + update surface is a real supply-chain / privilege-escalation risk.
