Why flagged The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt proprietary binary (.deb) from oss.hexhub.cn, which is the vendor's own OSS (Object Storage Service) host for HexHub software. The package is a legitimate proprietary Electron-based developer tool (Database/Docker/SSH/SFTP client) with a proper website at hexhub.cn. The source host oss.hexhub.cn is the vendor's CDN/storage endpoint, not a random personal host. However, it is still a prebuilt binary from a non-GitHub/non-official-distro host with no way to verify the build chain, and the sha256sum is a single fixed hash. The dependency list (alsa-lib, nss, libdrm, mesa, etc.) is consistent with an Electron app. This is a standard 'bin' AUR package pattern for proprietary software distributed as a .deb. The risk is the standard supply-chain concern for any prebuilt binary from a vendor-controlled but unauditable host — not clearly malicious, but not verifiable either. Rating remains medium due to executed proprietary binary from a non-standard CDN host with no source build option.

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, …).
