Why flagged

The package downloads a source tarball from the project's official website (ormbunkar.se), which is not on a standard code hosting platform but is plausibly the legitimate project host; the tarball is used to build and install the software via a modified install.sh script, but no unreviewed remote code is executed and the checksum is verified.

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 source tarball from the project's official website (ormbunkar.se), which is not on a standard code hosting platform but is plausibly the legitimate project host; the tarball is used to build and install the software via a modified install.sh script, but no unreviewed remote code is executed and the checksum is verified.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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