Why flagged

OSDN.net (formerly SourceForge Japan) is a legitimate open-source hosting platform and is actually the official distribution host for Android-x86 project releases. The URL pattern matches the real Android-x86 project page (projects/android-x86). The RPM is the official upstream release artifact from the Android-x86 project, not a personal or unofficial build. Using 'SKIP' for checksums is sloppy and means integrity is not verified at build time, but this is a packaging quality issue rather than an active supply-chain attack. The package installs a QEMU wrapper binary and Android system image files — these are executed/used at runtime but come from the legitimate upstream project host. The main concern is the missing checksum verification, which is a low-severity packaging deficiency, not a medium supply-chain risk.

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 82%): OSDN.net (formerly SourceForge Japan) is a legitimate open-source hosting platform and is actually the official distribution host for Android-x86 project releases. The URL pattern matches the real Android-x86 project page (projects/android-x86). The RPM is the official upstream release artifact from the Android-x86 project, not a personal or unofficial build.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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