View on AUR

Why flagged

Downloads a prebuilt .deb binary from a non-standard Zoho CDN host (zohopublic.com) with a SKIP'd checksum, making it unverifiable; while the domain appears plausibly Zoho-owned, the SKIP'd checksum means a silently swapped executable could not be detected.

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, …).
