Why flagged

The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary .deb from aliza-medical-imaging.de, which appears to be the official vendor distribution domain for Aliza Medical Imaging software. SHA512 checksums are present for integrity verification, mitigating supply-chain substitution risk. The pattern of installing vendor-provided proprietary binaries via .deb extraction is common in AUR. However, the PKGBUILD is clearly broken: the prepare() function tries to extract data.tar.xz without first unpacking the .deb with 'ar x', the variable ${ALIZA_DIR} is undefined, and the find command runs on an empty pkgdir. The security risk is low (vendor binary with checksums), but the package cannot build successfully.

Triggered rules

Low AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (anthropic/claude-4.6-sonnet-20260217) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 72%): The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary .deb from aliza-medical-imaging.de, which appears to be the official vendor distribution domain for Aliza Medical Imaging software. SHA512 checksums are present for integrity verification, mitigating supply-chain substitution risk. The pattern of installing vendor-provided proprietary binaries via .deb extraction is common in AUR. However, the PKGBUILD is clearly broken: the prepare() function tries to extract data.tar.xz without first unpacking the .deb with 'ar x', the variable ${ALIZA_DIR} is undefined, and the find command runs on an empty pkgdir.

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, …).
