Why flagged

The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt RPM binary from packages.wazuh.com, which is the official Wazuh package repository (the same host used by their official apt/yum repos). The sha512sum is present and pins the specific binary, providing integrity verification even without PGP. The RPM is extracted and its contents (etc/, usr/, var/) are installed directly — this is an executed/installed binary payload. The host is legitimate (official Wazuh infrastructure, not a personal or unofficial mirror), but the pattern of installing a prebuilt binary RPM without PGP signature verification is a genuine supply-chain concern: if the upstream binary were compromised or the checksum updated to a malicious build, there is no secondary verification layer. This is a real medium-severity concern (unverified binary from a plausible-but-not-cryptographically-verified source), not a false positive, but also not evidence of active malice.

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, …).
