Why flagged

The package downloads prebuilt VMware binaries and tools from a non-official, non-whitelisted host (hessfr.s3.lyn.io.hostmyservers.net), which presents a supply-chain risk if the host is compromised or malicious; however, the files are checksummed and the package does not execute arbitrary 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, …).

PKGBUILD:72 "https://hessfr.s3.lyn.io.hostmyservers.net/vmware/15/VMware-Workstation-${_pkgver/_/-}.${CARCH}.bundle.tar"

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.
