Why flagged
The PKGBUILD downloads VMware Workstation installer bundles (.bundle files) and VMware Tools component files from a personal/unofficial host (voxhost.fr) rather than from VMware/Broadcom's official distribution servers. These are executed binaries: the .bundle file is explicitly run with bash in the prepare() function to extract its contents. While the files have sha256sums listed (providing some integrity guarantee), those checksums were presumably generated by the maintainer from files they control on their own server — there is no way to verify these match what VMware/Broadcom actually ships. The official VMware Workstation bundles are available directly from Broadcom's download portal, and the PKGBUILD even sets up a custom DLAGENT to route through Cloudflare for softwareupdate-prod.broadcom.com, suggesting the maintainer knows the official source but chose to mirror on their personal server instead. This is a genuine supply-chain concern: a compromised or malicious voxhost.fr could serve modified installer bundles that execute arbitrary code during the extraction step. The risk is real but not confirmed malicious, placing this squarely in the medium category.
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:70
"https://voxhost.fr/vmware-aur/16/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.
