LOW

Why flagged The package downloads a third-party library (nlohmann/json) from GitHub, which is a non-whitelisted but legitimate and common source; however, it is used as a build dependency with a fixed checksum and no code execution from the download occurs beyond standard CMake inclusion, making the risk low.

Triggered rules

LOW AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (qwen/qwen3-235b-a22b-07-25) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The package downloads a third-party library (nlohmann/json) from GitHub, which is a non-whitelisted but legitimate and common source; however, it is used as a build dependency with a fixed checksum and no code execution from the download occurs beyond standard CMake inclusion, making the risk low.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

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, …).
