apio
The pip install is used internally to install 'flit<4' within a build venv for building the package, which is a normal part of the build process for Python packages and does not involve installing untrusted external code.
Triggered rules
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 pip install is used internally to install 'flit<4' within a build venv for building the package, which is a normal part of the build process for Python packages and does not involve installing untrusted external code.
1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
pip_install_external
`pip install <package>` fetches an unpinned package from PyPI at build time, outside source=() and makepkg's checksums.
