View on AUR ↗
Why flagged The package uses uv to install a Python tool from PyPI, which is a standard and expected method for Python packages; the installation target is properly scoped to $pkgdir, and there is no evidence of malicious behavior or untrusted remote code execution.

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 90%): The package uses uv to install a Python tool from PyPI, which is a standard and expected method for Python packages; the installation target is properly scoped to $pkgdir, and there is no evidence of malicious behavior or untrusted remote code execution.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
MEDIUM External install via pipx/uv/poetry/cargo/go/gem alt_pkg_manager_install

A non-pip/npm package manager (pipx, uv, poetry, cargo install, go install, gem, conda…) fetches and builds an external package at build time, outside source=() and makepkg's checksums.

  • PKGBUILD:49 uv tool install --force --with pip aider-chat@latest
